Behemoth the cat said “I do not take your BELIEFS personally. Feel free to believe in whatever you wish. The problem starts when you guys see the need to support your beliefs with hand-crafted ‘science’ (which defies observable reality and common sense) and advertise this publicly. Then it becomes personal, because as a conservative I become associated with this pseudoscience”
So I may believe whatever I wish as long as I don’t voice my opinion? That is why people question your conservatism. It is not because you believe in evolution, it is that you believe in silencing any dissent to your belief.
However creation science fits extremely well with observable reality and common sense. You are welcome to believe otherwise AND you are welcome to say otherwise even on a public forum because you have the freedom of speech. I am a conservative and I believe in the freedom of speech.
