Heliocentrism and Evolution

An earlier thread (Is Evolution a Radical Idea?) suggested that evolution may be like heliocentrism, in that it offended people but was not actually disastrous to religion.If it is accepted that evolution is true, what must be rejected from Christian religions? Will acceptance of evolution lead to the downfall of religion?I'm going to contend that evolution is different from heliocentrism in that we must reject a literal interpretation of the book of genesis. But beyond that, there are no critical changed that must be made to Christian religions. And considering that many demonitations all ready reject a literal reading of the Bible, it seems as though ToE is not that devasting to religions. It may cause some religions to change (probably not collapse), but for many religions it will involve only minor adjustment.Edited by platypus, : No reason given.

Thanks for the help. Let me drive this topic along these lines, which did not seem to be adequately discussed. Can I change the title also to Heliocentrism and Evolution?An earlier thread (Is Evolution a Radical Idea?) suggested that evolution may be like heliocentrism, in that it offended people but was not actually disastrous to religion.If it is accepted that evolution is true, what must be rejected from Christian religions?

Thanks, I changed my original post.
