well, of course, the “higher criticism” is aimed to discredit the Bible which is the core of the Protestant Faith. No such scholarship exists in the Muslim world that directs the same animus against the Koran. The Great Tradition of the Church, which centers on the Sacraments,is not so dependent on the literal word of the Bible. When Darwin published “Origin of Species, “ evangelicalism was devastated. But John Henry Newman was not, because, as he said, biology deals with secondary things and not First Things. Evangelicalism seemed to stand or fall on the literal truth of Genesis. The Darwinists, of course, claimed far more than they could prove, and turned science into ideology. The radical naturalism that informs their thought has no room for Revelation.
It was Galileo who sought to allow material investigations to follow there own course, and it is he who is your enemy, not Darwin.
