So, in short, those who accept that the theory of evolution is the best current explanation for biological development and diversification are not, and cannot be, conservatives?

[Mamzelle]

The argument itself serves the interests of the left and those here pretending to be conservative. (Sort of like that Korean hero-cloner claimed to be a scientists while making a fool of the whole world.) That makes the issue less relevant than the agenda.

There are sincere evo-fanatics, of course, crankish bores are everywhere. And then there are their directors and users who see this sidebar as a way to make the pridefully-intellectual feel rather embarassed about their religious allies. Be alert to any mention of a vulnerable GOP pol in a blue state. Santorum is one they're after--keep yer ears on.
