Any bets on how long before THIS professor, a card carrying conservative if there ever were one, gets his face beaten by a couple of "good ol' boys" drivin' a pickup truck, for speaking out against inserting religiously-motivated unscientific claptrap into public school science books and characterizing creationists as "lunatics"?
".... and characterizing creationists anti-evolutionists as "lunatics"?
This professor is typical of the science-literate conservatives who routinely defend evolution (and all of science) on our threads. It's perfectly possible -- and quite rational -- to be a conservative and to have an appreciation of science. I've got a little essay on that subject at the start of my homepage. Excerpt:
Science appeals to the conservative mind for the same reasons that free enterprise does. It's reality-based, it focuses on what works, it rejects failed concepts, and it produces results.The aberrational mindset is to be anti-science. Nothing "conservative" about that.

Hopefully, as a conservative, he exercises his 2nd Amendment rights to defend himself in such an altercation.
