Evolution is the status quo ante in biological science. The essence of conservatism is the rejection of ill-considered ideological revisions of the status quo ante - in essence, radicalism of any sort. Creationism is another form of radicalism; it requires one to set aside the body of scientific work in favor of an extraneous, unsubstantiated doctrine. Properly speaking, creationists don't belong on a conservative forum.

Dakmar...

I took a few minutes to decipher that post, and I must say I agree with a lot of what you said.

fC...

These were the Classical liberals...founding fathers-PRINCIPLES---stable/SANE scientific reality/society---industrial progress...moral/social character-values(private/personal) GROWTH(limited NON-intrusive PC Govt/religion---schools)!

Dakmar...

Where you and I diverge is on the Evolution/Communism thing. You seem to view Darwin and evolution as the beginning of the end for enlighted, moral civilization, while I think Marx, class struggle, and the "dictatorship of the proletariat" are the true dangers.

God bless you, I think we both have a common enemy in the BRAVE-NWO.

And if they get their way, this is just the beginning. If ID can be taught along side evolution in biology class, then why not Noah's flood in geology class? After all, certain individuals here claim that there is better evidence for flood geology than mainstream geology (!!). They'll get around to big bang theory too.

I wonder will they allow the critiques of ID to be presented to the kids?
