Protest Movement
C.S.Lewis (to EPM, 1951): “You might be right in regarding evolution as the central and radical lie in the whole web of falsehood that now governs our lives”.

The play, 1955,
seriously misleading

Inherit the Wind, movie 1960, with
Spencer Tracy cast as Darrow, the enlightened
hero?

1960: Christians mostly avoid the creation-evolution issue by employing the Day-Age interpretation, or the Gap interpretation. Very few creationists with academic credentials. Poor organisation. Very few books.
2000: Thousands of creationists with academic credentials. Organised creation science societies around the world. Numerous books, websites, media.
Remarkable growth!
