I partially disagree with the applicability of your example. A while ago I tried to find a material that could put up the existence of dinosaurs with the Bible and ultimately failed. Yet I can't easily 'buy' your (presumed) inference that Darwinians are unequivocally right simply because thus far Darwinian scientists have never demonstrated how the very first life came into existence from non life by an evolutionary mechanism. And this is a pivotal element. Moreover, according to other religions, Hinduism for example, life and the universe exist in cycles for eons of years and their origin is obscure and generally beyond human comprehension. So, the fact that Christian sources provide us with presumably faulty knowledge points out only on the weakness of the particular religious standpoint and can't prove that Darwinians have won the battle and provided us with the unequivocally satisfactory explanation for the origin of life. It’ just a hypnoses like the Big Bang and other scientific 'superstitions' which may not stand the test of time in the long run IMO.
