"What I CAN'T understand is anybody who'd call himself a republican or a conservative believing in such a thing."
Because we value objective knowledge and have not abandoned our minds to either right or left wing anti-science post-modernism. I have a hard time understanding how a Conservative could believe in creationism/ID. We're supposed to be the rational ones.

I have a hard time understanding how a Conservative could believe in creationism/ID.But didn't you get the memo? Conservatives are supposed to be Christians who believe in a literal interpretation of the English translation of the Bible before anything else.

Conservative could believe in creationism/ID. We're supposed to be the rational ones.The start of my homepage has an essay devoted to the powerful linkage between conservatism, science, and rationality. It won't impress the creationists, because they're so unhinged from reality that nothing will impress them.
