    The origins of the War on Science can be traced to evangelical rejection of the higher criticism. Discuss.

        Cultural relativist arguments were melded by cons with a conspiratorial theory of knowledge.

        You could probably make the argument that another factor was New Atheism stating their ideas were representative of scientific thought/consensus as well.

        New Atheism is largely a reaction to fundamentalist/evangelical opposition to evolutionary theory. You've got it backwards.

        More directly related to Christian fundamentalism and the aftermath of the Scopes Trial in 1925 than evangelism per se.

        Didn’t it start earlier in America as a reaction and rejection of the scientific reasoning and skepticism of the Age of Reason and a return to religion and spirituality in the Second Great Awakening?

        But my experience is that it is a somewhat global phenomenon that can be found wherever doctrinaire, sacred text-based religion encounters the rational forces of finding out what is actually true. I know some traditional Theravada Buddhists who exhibit similar ideas.

        Nope. Read Aileen Fyfe, Science & Salvation how 19th century evangelicalism embraced science writing.Many other histories of 19th century evangelicalism and science complicate/disprove your thesis. Secord,Victorian Sensation on Evangelicals and early evolutionary theory also good

        If all you read of 19th century history on this is Gertrude Himmelfarb, I could see how you might come to this conclusion.
