It is interesting to me that this ToE vs ID issue comes up simultaneously with the left's war on God, the church, Christmas, etc. It seems another leftist issue and front in the battle to change our culture to one more amenable to Communism

I like a good conspiracy theory as the next guy, but this one isn't very good.

Actually, Karl Marx so liked Darwin's Origin of Species that he wrote Darwin and told him he would like to dedicate the 2nd volume of Das Capital to him...Darwin refused the offer. So I think it's pretty well established that darwinism is very appealing to communists and it has been used by them to promote atheism.

Gee, that's funny, a lot of creationists think Darwinism is more appealing to capitalists and imperialists

So what? That isn't evidence of anything other than people use what they can get their hands on to further their own ends.

Plenty of evil people have used religion to consolidate their own power. That doesn't make religion itself evil either.
