it is “Darwin’s theory of natural selection is a scientific theory, as its defenders claim, then why hasn’t it been able to establish itself securely in the public mind?"

There is more proof that it does not exist than that it does. It is unproven and not scientific.

Do you think quantum indeterminacy has established itself in the public’s mind?

As far as I can tell, thermodynamics hasn’t done well either. It is as least as misunderstood as evolution.

In fact I can’t think of any complex idea in science that is understood by the general public. Heck, I bet most people couldn’t think of a good, simple way to measure the diameter of the earth.

You'd think that with the decades of indoctrination in the public school system and monopoly that the ToE has had in being taught in the classroom, that it would have sunk in by now.

The reason that it hasn't established itself securely in the public mind is that most people have the sense to realize that something as complex as the universe and the life contained within, is far less likely to have just happened than to be made. And the more we learn, the more complex we find it to be, far more than any thought of years ago. The more complex, the less likely to have happened by chance. If it didn't happen by chance, it had to have happened on purpose.

The brainwashing is failing, plain and simple.
