Well, creation is the most evidently accused matter, for scientists do not wish to admit that 1. they are wrong 2. there is a being stronger and better than man kind, and 3. if they control our beliefs they also can control, to a certain extent, what we do. Another subject challenged is if Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit can be one but three different people at the same time. This is questioned simply because the human mind cannot comprehend what the mind of God can. It is also questioned if The Bible was really written by God, this is because scientists and others are striving to find flaws and must do so just to prove the Bible and its teachings wrong. There are a lot more, too, so if you still have questions you might want to Google it.
First responder makes some good points.However, as a Catholic, I have no problem holding a creationism belief simultaneously with evolutions of the species by natural selection as part of God's plan. In other matters of Faith versus science, I say those who have faith need no explanation, and for those who don't, no explanation will suffice. Everyone has free will to believe as they choose . Those of us who have faith do not struggle with these other issues. Scientists and scholars can argue til they're blue. I just enjoy the gifts we have been given.

In the context of Germany in the World War II era, traditional leaders were in fact being challenged -- by the Nazis -- in several different respects. First, the traditional Western leaders of Europe, Great Britain and France, were being directly challenged. Second, within Germany, the traditional military leadership was challenged both directly and indirectly. Finally, and also within Germany, the traditional social leadership of parents, pastors, and local politicians was systematically (if often subtly) challenged by the Nazis in many different ways.
