On further thought, this accusation doesn’t make ANY sense.
Look at human history. I’m an atheist, I do not think any religion is true, but they’re ALL OVER the map. Humans assign agency to all sorts of natural processes.
lightning strikes, gods did it.
Thunder sounds, that’s the lightning god’s brother, partner, wife, whatever.
Gods of flowers, sports, fire, volcanoes, childbirth, scribes, scrolls, accountants, knowledge, ignorance, ancestors and descendants.
And even once the powers that be decide to go all in on a monotheistic franchise, they can’t keep to one idea. A hierarchy is needed, or a hierarchy is Satanic; we’ll meet with God, we’ll become our own god; not only is mine the only true religion mine is the only true translation of the Word, or pretty much everyone’s good to go; And on and on.
This is what human invention does. Seeks out and explores options, explains things to one individual’s satisfaction. There’s just no way to herd cats well enough to provide a single Christain Conspiracy about what is or isn’t The Real Religion.
Everyone who has spent any time studying evolution, like 95% accept it. Among those that study it closely, it rises to 99%.
I don’t think any two seminary classes have that kind of consistency.
But the science, almost any science, there are details that are uncertain, but the overall state of the industry is solid. Evolution, not creationism.
Germs, not demons, not ‘hospital miasma,’ not an imbalance of humours.
Tides are the moon’s fault, not seamonsters rolling in the deeps.
The darkness on the moon is Earth’s shadow, not the place the spacewolf has eaten it…
And on and on and on.
Humans do not DO gigantic conspiracies very well. SOMEONE would be selling their book to a studio about how evolution is falsed to the public.
