Can you give me an example of what you mean by this 'failure' of a 2000 year old nature story?
I can give you many of the 150 year old darwinite
myth of progressive development. For starters, except where there is a mind involved, no progressive development happens in the real world. There are no blind watchmakers

Star formation which can clearly be seen in nebulas is a progressive development

Microbiotic evolution which even many Creationists admits happens is progressive development

Formation of crystals is progressive development

fire displays progressive development

These are just a few example of real world progressive development.... Wow those complex stars sure must find it hard to form out of that chaotic soup of Gases because you tell them they can't do it.

The fossil record, the geologic column, the night sky. Before you even start, I realize that for each case somebody has concocted an alternate "For Luddites" version, based upon things not being what they look like. I hate that.
