since when did I show support for evolution? (searching... searching... comment not found)

Mea culpa ... skepticism of one thing does not infer agreement of another thing. That's a trap I've pointed out so many times I'm embarassed to admit I've been snared myself. I'll grant you that, and I'm glad to hear that you too are prone to challenging issues various liberal groups find consensus on.

It is you, my friend, arresting critical thought for the sake of your "faith".

But you are in the same trap :-) My issue with evolution (specifically macro-evolution) -- aside from its bed-fellows -- is that it has largely become dogma. I simply don't know the ID position well enough (yet) to have strong feelings for or against it.

Very true, I cannot assume a belief system plays a role in your system of thought, I apologize for categorizing you into that group. About challenging liberal groups - I am prone to challenge any and all groups, thoughts, and ideals (and as a result of my attempted objectivity, I agree for the most part with today's conservatives). I am honestly apathetic to who supports/opposes evolution. I only seek truth for myself - whether you counter evolution because liberals support it, or whether the liberals support it because you counter it is childish political games at the expense of higher understanding.

About evolution becoming largely dogma, I somewhat agree and disagree; many scientists accept the popular theory of evolution not because they hate religion and desire to counter it, but that evolution and the origin of life is supported by an incredible amount of experimental evidence. Scientific method will dictate to keep these conclusions and theories in check. That does not go without saying that I have read about evolutionists setting out to further prove evolution through experimentation: that is not science either, experimentation should reveal truth. However, I simply cannot recall that many examples of this, do you have many? I see a stronger total denial of evolution than I see a total acceptance of it... and I presume this to be due to religious beliefs.
