Liberty, no, this was not a simplistic comment. I am merely re-stating the simplistic view often expressed on FR by one, small branch of the 'creation' camp. For some reason, this group, the so-called Young Earth creationists, is quite vocal here.

We are vocal here because biblical creation is the bedrock on which conservatism is founded. You are quite wrong in your ignorant comments about biblical creationists believing in fixity of species or that God created all species just as they are; for example, on the Ark there were 'doves' and 'ravens' that today are differentiated into over a hundred species each. Thus simple observation combined with biblical data confirms the reality of speciation.

Since you admit we are 'vocal' you might as well pay some attention so you can at least get elementary points right. It's one thing to sit around in a little cult-group (like I've encountered in academia) telling lies about what other people believe - it's another to tell us to our face that we believe something that we know we don't, and that we have been telling people the opposite now for decades.

Really, am I? Want me to dig out the threads on FR about the only results of mutations being "corruption" and "degeneration"? This directly implies the belief in the fixity of species. The observable fact, however, is that we see this differentiation, and this differentiation serves the purpose of allowing species to thrive in certain specific environments, and it is by no means a manifestation of "degeneration". But this mechanism too much resembles the hated concept of evolution... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2342888/posts?q=1&;page=1

Hogwash. Young earth creationism is the bedrock only for Young Earth Creationist Christian Conservatism, if there is such a specific thing (dibs on trademark...YECCC).

One not need to even be a theist to be a "conservative" with respect to governance......but you need it to be that way so you can call all those that don't believe that Man walked the Earth with 100+ species of large meat eating dinosaurs....."liberal." Such a great tactic.....like associating your opponents with Hitler.
