Because they wrote a
better one. You know, one which says it's OK to own slaves, just like the bible.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Hmm... not really.
Though I will wave my dick around if I feel the need to emphasize a minor point.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

How long will it be before it starts happening again?

'Merican christians like their stories plain and simple. Don't bother them with details that conflict against their simple notions. They don't WANT to think. That's too much trouble.
