The table.

True. Designed that table is too!

Science -- the social structure thereof -- can often act just like any other social structure. Can have a high reactance to change. What allowed plate tectonics to come to be accepted? It did not happen instanteously. What allowed surgeries to become hygienic? It surely wasn't abstract un-emotional science, Dr. Lister was mocked to near insanity!

When did quantum mechanics become accepted? When the older generation of mighty scientists retired (and they were truly mighty -- smart and genius, too).

Social structures can inherit old theories and wrap them in layers of instutionality of all sorts -- people's careers and institutions tied to a given way of looking at the world. They -- as history shows again, and again and again -- become very jealous of a certain way of looking at the world. Not only reactive -- but resistive -- lossey.

Cute post, but I must correct your tagline if you're going to want to be properly mocking ID.

"Bible" is ALWAYS capitalized. Look it up in your grammar book.

Welcome to FR, hope you have thick skin if you're going to remain a darwinist on this thread.

Contact PatrickHenry if you want on the evo ping though.
