".....what is the purpose of a thread like this except for hearing the echo chamber?"

You simply do not get it.

This is a political Forum, and there is room for dialogue on a number of subjects, but in the end, it is also a Conservative forum.

You can call people who have alleged relevant backgrounds conservative if you like, but for real, they ain't conservative, and out here they ain't relevant.

I have been around the block, and the so called relevant backgrounders are worse than any mob names that you could ever hurl at FReepers.

Those so called "relevant" types, were in many cases, intolerant, smug, arrogant, and BS artists who have not likely done half the reading that this here particular High School dropout has ever done.

No offense intended.

So what you are basically saying is that in order to be conservative, one cannot be a scientist with stronger knowledge of evolution? In all the years I've been here, the crevo threads have been brutal, but the proponents of evolution have consistently had rational, well researched and well cited posts. Creationists, on the other hand, have been caught, multiple times, essentially, and IMHO, "lying for the Lord." Being a creationist is not a requirement for being conservative. Like From Many - One has said, without techical people posting haere anymore, these threads are nothing more than echo chambers so the choir can sing to themselves. It's political masterbation.

Let's add current politics. Just found this link to the Republicans Presidential debate from last night on MSNBC. The question was "Raise your hands if you don't believe in Evolution."

The ONLY 3 candidates that do not believe in evolution are Brownback, Tancredo, and Huckabee. Watch the video yourself.
