They deny because they will loose their social control.

Think about it!
@DeWayfarer

Well i don't know about that. There's plenty of lee-way to believe in the god of the bible without denying evolution.
Although i guess agree that is certainly the motivation of some fundamentalists who insist that genesis is the literal account of creation.

@Pikachu I still believe it's Galileo Galilei all over again. Just another method.

@DeWayfarer Oh yes, I agree entirely.

I do think that, but I have found they will not admit or explain any such motive even by rhetorical questions rather than open accusations!

@DeWayfarer My my, isn't that something, social control, indeed!!
@DeWayfarer

Although luckily they are the powerless minority this time round.
Well, largely powerless anyway.

@Pikachu I disagree even there. This not just Christianity this time. It's Islam as well.
@DeWayfarer

Good point. I guess i should rephrase that to recognize that in western countries the church no longer holds the power it did in Galileo's time.
