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'm sure this will turn into a monster thread debating evolutionary theory, but all I'm saying is that many conservatives accept evolution.
Coulter and others lose me when she brands my acceptance of evolutionary theory as a denial of God.

Natural selection. Heritable mutation occurs that is advantageous, and gets passed on more readily than the rest of the population.

Room for miracles there, no doubt. But Bryson covers the current state of science well on that issue (and many others - I highly recommend the book) in "A Short History of Nearly Everything."
So what in this new thread provides more information than the previous one?
