Narby, here's a question for you or any other evolution proponent. Why is there so much resistance to evolution from conservatives? Liberals are generally the ones driven by emotion. They generally are the ones lacking in logic and/or common sense. They're likely the ones who keep psychic hotlines in business. Yet they're the least likely to question evolution. Every liberal I've ever discussed this with takes evolution as a given.
Might it be that us straight-thinking, common sense-driven logical Red Staters see the holes in evolutionary theory? :-)
Both political sides have their emotional issues. Emotion drives all politics, otherwise people wouldn't be motivated to vote.
One of the most "rational" people I know get's all hyped up when you bring up 2nd amendment and Constitutional issues. He's technically and legally right on these issues. But he can't recognize that there are practical political limitations to everything that must be done in government.
Also on the Evolution issue, it's not a given that Creationists vote Republican and vice versa. There are a considerable number of Dem Creationists and Rep Evolutionists, although there are more Creationists in the Rep party than Dem.
Practicing Christians tend to be conservatives, so it makes it seem like conservatives as a whole resist evolution. Like Narby said, this is just a overall trend and not very indicative. Even in red states like Georgia, Kerry still got 40% of the vote.
