Anyway, we've had this problem before (with Galileo) and we got through the crisis. We'll get through the problem of evolution too.

I don't think so. Gallileo simply moved the earth, and hence Man, out of the center of Creation. But it didn't truly matter because of the "God is Everywhere" theory.

But it is taught specifically that Man is God's special creation. This cannot be reconciled with a theory that says Man is one animal out of many produced by random variation and natural selection. Nope, if the Theory of Evolution in it's purest form is accepted, especially the presumption of "No Intelligent Design", then it cannot ever be compatible with any religion in the Judeo Christian/Islamic traditions.

After all, if Man's just an animal, he can't be sinful. And without sin, the religious leaders have nothing to extort money and fealty from their followers. Can't have that, no sirree.

Not the point at all. Galileo's solar system theory (which all but a few flat-earthers now accept) was clearly contrary to a literal reading of scripture. As is evolution. Religion survived Galileo. It will survive Darwin.

Patrickhenry is right though, and you are right as well.

The church leaders will figure out some way to bring evolution into the tenets of the church, because to do otherwise.

Well, as you said in your last line.
