Anyone who believes that science can't completely reform its view of a certain field if undeniable and overwhelming evidence is presented in favor of a new view, and that the entirety of a particular field of study will aggressively resist the new concept, needs to look at what happened with geology and the theory of plate tectonics in the late 1960s. It seems a bit bizarre from a modern perspective to envision a time when it was hotly debated whether continents did, in fact, move, but the idea that they never had was aggressively defended by people who didn't hold any kind of young-earth belief in the least.
