Sure it is. It's just not a Christian forum.
However, there are plenty of those out there, if that's what you'd prefer.
I've yet to figure out what the creationism vs. evolution debate has to do with "rolling back years of government largesse" however.
This is not the thread for debating that issue (it's about BADJOE), so I won't try to steer things into an off-thread debate here, but I want to respond -- just this once -- to your point. The science threads are interesting of themselves, attracting some pretty good freepers who participate not only in the science threads, but also in a variety of other topics.
Many of us think evolution in particular is an important topic for the forum. As you probably know, the evolution vs creationism debate is a raging issue in school boards all across the country, so it's a very current topic. The general idea many of us have is that if one vocal group -- an anti-evolution group -- claims to be the exclusive voice of the conservative movement and thus the republican party, well ... there will be consequences. We don't want the tent to get too small, do we? If we don't have a winning party, we can't roll back anything.
