Hmmm. Wonder why Christianity has done so well throughout history when so many of its adherents faced not only laughter but certain death for their beliefs. If your assessment above is any indication of your ability to assess facts and evidence, well, guess we know who is more likely to subscribe to a fairy tale.

Because Christinaity had political power. Jsut a few hundred years ago, anyone who would DARE suggest somethign like evolution would be burned at the stake.
But now, Christianity is fading from the western world. It's power in Europe, formerly the central base of Christianity, is quite weak. Christians who bray nonsense about Creationism do NOT help their cause.
