I'm still trying to figure out exactly when "creationism" became a conservative issue, much less a Republican one.

This is insane.

It happened when the Party was hijacked by the religious far-right.

Thee and me. As a guess, I would assume that creationism became a conservative issue because it is based largely in religious philosophy and conservatives, as a group, tend to be more religious.

Evolution, however, is a science that has mountains of supporting studies and documents to confirm it.

For the flamers warming up their keyboards to attack me, show me positive proof that God did not intend for man and creatures to evolve. He may have originally created us all but, for the survival of the different species, He allowed evolution to kick in and keep us going. I think it is possible to believe in BOTH.

I think that even God didn't want to have to go back to the drawing board every few hundred years or so and design a new model. Let nature assume the responsibility for updating the model so that it is able to adapt to its environment.

When all those Southern Democrats came over after Nixon's "Southern Strategy."

Creationism has evolved into a Conservative issue although it is slightly older than either major political party. There is hardly an issue anymore that is not a political consideration.
