The only overwhelming evidence for evolution is in the arrogant heads of those who choose to view the universe in their own way. Your screed fearing lack of progress in the conservative agenda due to a handful of folks who believe the world was created by God in six solar days is an indication that you are no conservative, but a moderate, like George Voinovich, who places political expediency above conscience and personal convicitions - worrying about what other people think than what is right.
Not a nice delusion, but you'll probably embrace it anyway.
You've picked your own version of reality, Fester. I only hope there are enough clear thinking people in the conservative political side to avoid any kind of consensus along your way of thinking.
I really don't care what people think, as long as they keep it in their own bedrooms. But when they come out and proclaim "we're conservatives, and we're here to trash the science curriculum and turn it into a study of what we read into the Bible", I'm not going to just keep my mouth shut.
