Let's pretend, shall we, that this really is a science thread.
TGBTG has made an assertion, namely, "Evo-Atheism has no role in conservatism, nor on any thread on this board other than to show the depths that Satan will go to spread his lies."
Breath-taking.
Kindly demonstrate, scientifically speaking, 1) The Theory of Evolution is the same as "Evo-Atheism," taking care to define exactly what "Evo-Atheism" might be, 2) That "Evo-Atheism" has no role in conservatism, listing any other scientific theories that are forbidden by conservatism, and that the Theory of Evolution is A) a lie, and B) originating with Satan. Satan having exactly what to do with a thread on science?
Thank you, gumlegs, for your lucid post and spot-on questions. I've been wondering for some time how it is that somehow understanding of science (and things like evolution) are satanic, atheistic, NEA loving, non-conservative, and the like. Where in the world has this warped view come from? Certainly I never see any evidence of such, but yet, it is stated so often here. How is it that conservatism is equated now to being anti-science (except of course, science that produces such lovely things as antibiotics for diseases, medical technologies such as MRI's, life-saving surgical techniques, your computer, your iPod, and all the other things you enjoy daily)?
I guess I'll be burning in hell with the rest of you evos, while the others gleefully pour on the BBQ sauce and watch.
From a statement I posted on our front page several years ago:
“As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.”
“Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.”
“We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.”

I’ll let you know if I ever change my policy in regards to aggressively defending our God-given and constitutionally protected right to freedom of religion. In the meantime, you can knock off any attempts to control who posts what on FR. If you don’t like the way we run FR, you can always post elsewhere.
Thankyouverymuch.
