"That's why they no longer argue Copernicus" Copernicus would be a tough one. Although we have posters here who could give it a shot. "why most have come around to accept evolution, etc..." Evolution is different. They have some simplistic, plausible sounding arguments that they think are real zingers. Like the whole "how could structure X evolve when all of the intermediate forms would be inferior to those that preceded it?". You think they would shut up about that one every since they trotted it out for bird flight. It failed when those Chinese fossils were found and, son of a gun!. A developmental timeline could be developed and the intermediate forms made sense! The realization that at least some dinosaurs, maybe even most or all, were feathered put the final nail in that particular coffin. Because suddenly the proto-birds didn't have to evolve feathers at the same time.
