I no longer believe they give a damn about the theory of evolution or even science, their emotional investment is in destroying traditional Judeo-Christian culture and replacing it with secularism and also promoting eugenics.
My only emotional investment comes from constantly being told that I'm a satanist devil-worshipping atheist crypto-liberal bent on destroying Judeo-Christian values and killing unborn babies and anyone else I think is inferior and that I'll end up roasting in hell while the "good Christians" gloat at my suffering. That cr*p does get pretty annoying, I'll admit.
It comes across more not that they’re scientists defending their theory from attack, which is really an irrational position to take anyway, as any decent scientist should realize that his theory is going to come under scrutiny.
But rather that they are liberals hiding behind the facade of science.
They’re using science to give their agenda some air of respectability. Then when anyone challenges them, they can take the injured tone and be the persecuted martyr, and accuse their opponents of being anti-science, anti-progress, wanting to take us back to the dark ages.
One of the other things that they fail to acknowledge is that it wasn’t intellectual heights that made this country great, but rather moral character. It’s integrity and truthfulness. There’ve been plenty of brilliant men who were unspeakably evil and many people suffered for that.

You may be right. I haven't been on the crevo threads for quite some time, as I found them to be too contentious.
