We are afraid of precisely what has happened! The dogma of inter-species evolution is taught to our children as settled fact, which it definitely is not, and, perhaps worse, as good science. It is an affront to good principles of science and serves as forced indoctrination into atheism and denial of Christ.
Evolution, as it is currently taught, is antithetical to the deeply-held beliefs, faith and religious experience of the majority of mankind. It is a direct assault on the very existence and power of God.
So was heliocentrism.
Someone forgot to tell Pope John Paul.
[N]ew knowledge has led to the recognition of the theory of evolution as more than a hypothesis. [... de nouvelles connaissances conduisent a reconnaitre dans la theorie de l'evolution plus qu'une hypothese.] It is indeed remarkable that this theory has been progressively accepted by researchers, following a series of discoveries in various fields of knowledge. The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favor of this theory.Pope John Paul II, 1996
