What is amazing is how people hold onto fundamental beliefs against all the evidence.

First the Earth was flat - then we found by observing lunar and solar eclipses that it was round

Then the Earth was the center of the Universe - until we deduced that the orbits of the planets only made sense if they all rotated around the sun

Then it was maintained that God created the world about 5,000 years ago - until we discovered dinosaur bones...

Oh... wait... no - apparently God put the dinosaur bones there and messed with carbon dating etc... as a test of faith. So right now we are in the era where the science of evolution is being fought over until eventually the fundamentalists will say "OK then, God created evolution - but it was all planned in advance".

Once that point gets settled I expect the fundamentalists to argue against quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle which effectiveley means that NOTHING can be set that far in advance due to quantum probabilities - but there you go...
