You have succeeded in reducing the conversation lower than my attention will endure. It couldn't get much lower than those disconnected, flaccid sound bite pronouncamentos you were flashing.
Conversation over.
What conversation?

There are a number of people who accept evolution and also believe that divine intervention occurs; they simply correctly understand that divine intervention has no place in a scientific explanation. Well-stated.

You might be interested in
this link about the views of George W. Bush and John Kerry on scientific issues, including creationism, before the last election (you have to scroll down a little to get to the part regarding this issue). Interestingly, both candidates seemed to be fairly equally ambiguous on the issue (as all seasoned politicicans are good at doing). Equating a staunch pro-evolution position with being a liberal or Democrat certainly does not seem to be reflected in this profile.
On the teaching of creationism:
"Communities must decide which sound, scientific theories are appropriate for the classroom." -John Kerry
On whether non-peer reviewed research should be publicly funded:
"Competitive peer review is the cornerstone of the scientific establishment. It is a scientifically rigorous process employed by funding agencies to allocate federal support for innovative research." -George W. Bush
There is admittedly a definite tendency of conservatives to lean toward the creationist end, but there are no clear cut lines in the controversy - i.e. equating evolutionary education to liberalism is ridiculous. Personally, when all is said and done, I do believe science research will ultimately fare better under Republican stewardship.

... the views of George W. Bush and John Kerry on scientific issues ... I think we had a thread on that, but it was a couple of years ago. I agree that science will do better under republicans, because: (a) the economy will be better; and (b) corporations should be taxed less, so they can afford more research. Besides, the dems (like Gore) are mostly flat-out crazy.

Good reply, but I also noticed that Just mythoughts didn't reply, probably because the multi-sylable technical terms made your post incomprehensible to him.

When did perjury become a conservative/Christian virtue?
Come on - you ought to know by now that creationists don't consider lying to infidels a sin....
