Creationists like to fantasize that it was Darwin who turned people away from Biblical literalism

Darwin didn't do anything to turn people away from the Bible. Only the devil and his lies does that.

Well, there is also a deep study of Scripture and its relationships in history that can have that effect, too. For instance, my turning point was when I discovered Mithraism had a virgin birth of its savior and his death to redeem mankind 200 years before Christ. At that point I realized that Paul had taken the teachings of an otherwise decent Jewish rabbi and turned them into some messianic bastardization of a number of Mideastern religions.
