To: Conservative Coulter Fan

A lot of conservatives have no problem with evolutionary theory. I have no idea what the percentage is, but it certainly is not small.

It really depends on what you mean by conservative...and I'll acknowledge that a percentage do believe in evolution just like they would a religion...we witnessed that here at FR on my other thread regarding Coulter's book. I was unable to get a detailed account of how one species evolves into an entirely new, more complex, and different species just like the ultimate conception that life began like Frankenstein...an body of water that they call primodial soup with amino acids...a little bit of lightinging...and poof, a single cell organism.

I count myself among those who believe the evidence of natural selection. If you believe that some traits are heritable, then it defies common sense to think that it does not take place.

It has been demonstrated in the lab, and in nature. But there is not a complete fossil record for every species, nor for man.

Given the complexity and diversity of all those species that have apparently been generated via natural selection, I see no reason to doubt that man is different. When I hear hoofbeats, I think "horses", not "zebras."

I think that most have no problem. I don't. See tagline.
