I am offended by the notion that a "great conservative read" is somehow accomplished through an attack on science. Argue against the theory, I suppose that is part of the fun of science for those who are good at it. I was not very good and never found it fun. But do not posture conservatism as an anti science movement. We are not a party dark age beliefs.
Well, I'm offended by your categorization of Intelligent Design and Creation Science as "anti-Science" and "dark age beliefs". The debate here is not science verses non-science. The debate is over the interpretation of scientific evidence and whether or not it really supports one theory over the other. Over 77% of republicans do not believe in evolution. That doesn't make us a party of dark age beliefs. That makes us a party whose majority members question the validity of what masquerades as science in the field of life origins.
Quite the opposite of your very biased opinion. We as Conservatives should not swallow anything w/o any proof. The fossils do not prove that evolution is plausible and you would rather believe the sun circles the earth as long as your scientist gods say it does.
As a Conservative I am not going to believe everything that is shoved down my throat. That is hardly a dark age belief. Where are all those Transitional Species???

The Dark Ages refer to a period of time when the biblical texts fell into disuse. If you want dark ages then turn intelligent design into a mystical, incredible, supernatural, miraculous thing, even though the intelligible universe is replete with organized matter that performs specific functions, which in turn happens to be the ultimate goal of intelligent design.
There is indeed a party of dark age beliefs, namely the party of dogmatic evolutionists who use the law to protect their philosophy from public scrutiny.
