From what I’ve seen, neither liberals nor conservatives as a group have the faintest idea of what science is. Both cherry-pick their favorite bit and pieces of evidence to support whatever conclusion they support. Conservatives are usually undone by irrationality when it comes to evolutionary theory as are liberals when it comes to smoking and climatology.

I am a scientist, albeit a retired one, and I don’t think it irrational to question Darwinism or its derivatives. It’s not science, just somebody’s idea of a good guess.
