Conclusion
Rather than to a simple confrontation between two positions, the dissemination of Darwin's theories gave rise to a broad and complex positioning among and within Christian churches.
Early 21st century confrontations around the Creationist[1] agenda result from posterior developments. Those originated shortly before the First World War in the United States where representatives from several churches saw in recent political and moral transformations some kind of moral decadence of the Christian West and advocated the return to “fundamentals”, that is to say the Bible and the moral precepts that may be drawn from it. They set forth their ideas in a series of papers, The Fundamentals: a Testimony to Truth between 1910 and 1915 and joined together in the World's Christian Fundamentals Association, which is one of the hothouse of current Christian fundamentalism.
