I’m a life long conservative and a student of evolution. While for some this may seem to be somewhat of a contradiction, for those of us who understand science, it all makes absolute sense.

Yup.

Yea, me to, anyway, when God created man he used available material, some of witch might have been homo erectus, anyway, our solar system is somewhere around 4,5 billion years old and the galaxi/universe somewhere around 14 billion years old and this has nothing to do with God creating man or evolution for that mather

Why is it a contradiction? Lots of conservatives (perhaps even most) are only nominally Christian, lots are not believers at all, many are agnostic and still plenty of others simply believe the 7 days are not literal and evolution is the way God created everything.

Is there some sort of problem with conservatives believing in evolution that I am not aware of?

You are a simple-minded dupe....

There isnt a single shred of Evidence in Science proving Evolution.

The conflict is between evolution and any sort of a decent approach to science/logic, and not between evolution and conservatism or religion. Evolution is basically a dead theory walking and is being defended by academic dead wood and people with lifestyle and/or tenure issues. There is no scientific basis for it.
