The Free Republic Hardcore Evolutionists carry water for the far left while claiming to be Libertarians. In their most vehement attacks they join the far left as they habitually seek to undermine the moral and philosophical viewpoints of true conservatives.
The dishonest Free Republic hardcore evolutionists are a pack of liars who claim to be for small government due to their uncompromising Libertarianism (a ruse to justify their liberal social and anti-Bible positions) while supporting, boot-licking and even worshipping the worst of all Big Government abusers, the Big Government Public School system run by the far left.

Liars

All that because we prefer science taught in science class and religion taught in other venues?

Can you say frothing at the mouth, boys and girls? (I knew you could!)

No, if it were just a matter of preference, then it wouldn't be about lawsuits and monopolizing the public education establishment through the force of big government. If it were preference, I couldn't see why having parents have a say in their child's education using their own tax dollars would be such an issue.

But you knew that already.

The Free Republic hardcore evolutionists Love Big Government, top-down, centralized control by the far left who run the Big Government Public Schools.

Can you say Big Government Liberals posing as small government libertarians to give cover for their obvious liberalism on a conservative website?

This whole tack just doesn't appeal to me. Science depends on freedom of thought and discussion, and the idea of ruling out certain ideas categorically just runs against my grain.

I do appreciate that the creationist agenda is advanced not in the spirit of free inquiry, but what is to be done in this case?

The renaissance and enlightenment ideals of scientific practice were those of a fraternal elite who sought to attract men of ability by the power and appeal of their exciting and revolutionary ideas.

In this they were phenomenally successful, and we all know the story. Their ideals were established as conventional wisdom and made the foundation for our technological society. Yet, the establishment of far-reaching results such as Evolution and Cosmology as socially mandated doctrine rests uncomfortably on the foundational ideals of science.

I still maintain that the best way to teach Evolution would be to place a copy of Darwin's Origin of Species at the top of a greased pole wrapped in barbed wire, and forbid it's reading.
