Well, conservatives aren't necessarily science literate...

Interesting statement .. as a conservative and a (gasp) religious one at that ... its hard to type this note out as I am floating around the room ... because I do not get gravity.

A little sarcastic I know, but I am baffled by the fact that there are those who believe that religious conservatives are "science illiterate".

Good point--gravity exists whether you accept it or not, evolution is real whether you accept it or not.

Do a posting search on those who claim conservatives are science illiterate-- for Darwin Central evo-freaks here on FR, if the thread is not about smut or evolution, they don't join in on any discussion. Very Evo and Butthead. I'msurprised they even know who Ann is.

Conservative religious scientist (of sorts) reporting for duty.

. . . I am baffled by the fact that there are those who believe that religious conservatives are "science illiterate".

We just have to keep it all in neat little compartments. Science over here, and religion over there. We must see to it that this understanding is established as the law of the land.

What baffles me is how quick we are to mark human craftsmanship without direct revelation from a human who happens to design and build an artifact, but in order to be "scientifically" inferred or assumed, the Creator must directly and at all times manifest His creative and sustaining power.
