From the article:

And there's the rub. For more than 30 years, left-leaning academics - notably residing in the humanities and, to a lesser extent, the social sciences - have been strongly opposed to using evolutionary theory to help make sense of human behavior, in part because their professional training emphasizes the role of social learning and cultural traditions, and - perhaps even more - because they fear the possible findings.

Perhaps we need more rational, conservative academics.

Conservative does not necessarily mean theocon. There are a lot of other -cons, most of whom were already -cons when theocons were still voting Democratic.

Perhaps what we need is faith! We don't need science to protect creation. It takes faith not science. Just flush out that evolution garbage.

Besides, even with science it takes more faith to believe in that garbage than creation!
