The quote from Michael Ruse, professor of history and philosophy and author of The Darwinian Revolution (1979), Darwinism Defended (1982), and Taking Darwin Seriously (1986), acknowledges that evolution is religious: “Evolution is a religion. This was true of evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution still today” was a lot more honest than you are about your agenda.

Just for grins and giggles for the other people on this thread, just what is your 'job' as you see it.

Again, your appeal to authority is fun but of no probative nor argumentative value. I can call up a bazillion quotes that say any and all things.

My “job” is to make it clear that many/most Conservatives do understand science and need not fall back to simple logical fallacies to make our point.

Suggesting the Earth (and, by extension the Universe) is 6,000 years old feeds into the liberal stereotype of us as being anti-intellectual and flat out stupid. It opens parallels to AGW (which is NOT science but you have to know what science is before you can combat what is not).

Contradicting TToE and other natural sciences (YEC contradicts all of them) is like voting on the gender of the class bunny.
