What you are trying to say is that no matter what the evidence against theism, it does not matter that your true idea is losing it's status as a frame of reference. What are christians afraid of that they won't entertain anything out of the frame of reference called "God"??????
Here is the way I see it:
"Little by little, time brings out each several thing into view, and
reason raises it up into the shores of light."
Lucretius
This man was writing about "atoms" in the 4th century BC. What do you think the world would be like if we had not been crippled by the "true idea"?????
