..........there has always been a question in a lot of people's minds as to whether or not the theory of evolution is in any way compatible with conservatism.

The Catholic Church finds no conflict between the Bible and evolution. The Bible, the Catholic Church teaches, uses allegories, just as Jesus used allegories, and a "day" in Genesis may be more than merely a 24 hour day.

"With the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."

What you are saying is that a conservative can only be someone who interprets the Bible in the same way that you do.

Once you set up such a standard for membership in the Conservative Club, you are guaranteeing yourself perpetual membership in the Minority Club.

The bottom line is the Coulter does not need to mix conflicts of political beliefs with conflicts of religious beliefs. One has nothing to do with the other.

"Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's."

What about the conflict between evolution and modern mathematics, probability theory, and logic? Does any of that bother the people running the Catholic church these days?
