No, it doesn't.
Nor do they need reason to deride Christians or conservatives other than those Christians and conservatives stand in their path to power.
The Truth is that they FEAR Christians. As they Fear Bush. They fear Delay. What you discern as mockery masks that fear.
I don't particularly care what opinion people have of my beliefs. If I did, I wouldn't be a Christian. I wouldn't be a Conservative. If you want me to recognize evolution as Truth, Prove it. I've yet to read anything that make an absolute undisputed case for it. At a point it takes a leap of Faith in the science of the day about an event no one witnessed. The science of the day has a habit of becoming dated as we make discoveries where we thought there were none left to be made. What was accepted opinion 100 years ago, is not accepted wisdom today. 100 years from now it'll be the same.
I will take a leap of faith and acknowledge God's existance, but I will not do the same for Scientific Theory constructed by man to explain the origins of the earth.

The ability to "dispute" something does not mean that it is incorrect. Many dispute that Oswald shot Kennedy. Some doubt we landed on the moon. Both have "evidence" on their side and will argue their case till the cows come home.
The Discovery Institute, that I believe is funded by the left in order to damage the conservative cause, has "disputed" evolution and claimed that this is proof of Intellegent Design. It is no such thing.
Anti-Evolutionism is a cancer on the conservative cause. It will reproduce and spread among conservatives and kill their political power. Note that Social Security reform is all but dead. As is the nuclear option in the Senate. We are beginning to loose, and here we fight on this stupid issue.
