> This is a Leftist tactic if I ever saw one.
Oh, please. Pointing out simple facts is *not* a "Leftist tactic." Whther you liek it or not, Americans are as a whole massively ill-informed about science. Note how many of them go ape at the mention of nuclear power, and yet ahve not the sligtest idea of how it works.
> I would have you know that a vast majority of those disagreeing with the Theory of Evolution are conservatives.
It's a stain on the movement. However, as memory serves, 46% of *Democrats* also buy into Creationism.
> Conservatives, by nature, are more skeptical and concerned with truth.
In many areas. But Conservatives are also largely more religious than Libs. In this instance, religion and skepticism collide head to head.
I have read that some prominent leftists in the social sciences are anti-evolution because it is part of the "establishment". Not because of any evidence, but because of what it might represent.
