It's not paranoid to point out that the hard right (of which I am a sometimes member) has been bashing science for decades now. Rush Limbaugh, who I agree with on many subjects, is a primary culprit, because he doesn't understand science at all, which even he admits.
The primary bashing subject has been environmental "science", because that branch of science has been totally corrupted by the left for political gain. That some conservatives have now begun to attack science in general and evolution in particular is not paranoid, it's just the facts.
I don't agree with this at all. I do not feel there is any factual basis for this statement.
