Great... the classic evos are communists bit...

By the way, real science is capitalistic. The more correct a theory is, the more likely that it will be useful, and more people will conduct research into it.

Interesting how it's the IDers that are trying to use the government to force ID into schools. Rather like how a communist would do it...

That's one way to prove that "flood geology" is wrong - the oil companies have no use for it.

I always get a kick out of attempts to connect evolution to communism. Stalin deliberately suppressed efforts to do real science in genetics and Darwinian evolution, instead promoting his brand of Lamarckism that fit closely with his ideological beliefs. This is the sort of thing that happens when politics trumps science.

For many years, leftist academics preferred Lamarck over Darwin, because the idea of inheriting environmentally induced changes fit better with Marxist ideas of social change. In 1948, under T. D. Lysenko as Soviet director of scientific research, Mendelian genetics was officially outlawed in Russia and Lamarckism established as communist dogma.
