A section of Conservatives are in a full assault on Science, which by its nature is apolitical. The Left will bash us with this. We need to know what's going on.
Perhaps, I've never understood the evo/creation debate anyways (I suppose at this point I should say I am a creationist, just so everyone knows where I stand). It isn't as if a leftist is going to walk up to you and go "Oh an pro-evolution conservative! You're cool!" The left is going to bash conservatives regardless. They might even call you a creationist just because you ARE conservative (leftists and the truth don't get along very well)
I don't see how conservative in-fighting is going to make conservatives invulnerable to leftist attack.
