Great article! The question that baffles me about the numerous creationist trolls who constantly infest this forum is that it's never really obvious whether they are part of a grand conspiracy to make conservatives appear ignorant or whether they simply are an ignorant wing of the conservative movement. Smith and Darwin truly were two of a kind using the same general logic to respectively define economics and biology. The same general logic that defines conservatism.

IMO, mostly the latter.
