you mean another failed attempt. We are in the age of reason and science. There is no going back.

tell that to Galileo... and be sure to mention Eratosthenes.

over a thousand years of science and progress lost to the human race due to religious dogma.

EDIT: and when the religious zealots decide to use a nuclear weapon or twelve to destroy everything they can, or to incite a real nuclear exchange, we'll all be thrown back to the Stone Age.. if we're lucky. They could possibly be the cause of the extinction of the human race.

I dig you. Lumping evolution with origin theory is a bit of overkill. Fortunately, I think most people reckognize that and thus they remain on the fringe.

No those guys are dead. Go tell Hawkins and Dawkins of another failed attempt. They will probably yawn. Dawkins will probably write a book about it.

Fundamnetalists may grumble about science, but they too recognize it as having won the battle a long time ago. The proof is things like ID. If science was not the standard currency of belief, IDers would not be trying to make their religious views seem scientific.
