Unfortunately, even conservatives are still thinking in a strait jacket. And I don't anticipate that changing anytime soon. Certainly not when conservatives are worrying about "western civilization" and turning A-mighty G-d into a mere utilitarian prop for it instead of judging their every assumption by the Revelation of G-d.
How many "conservatives" are willing to even consider Theocracy instead of rejecting it automatically because Thomas Jefferson wouldn't have liked it?

Spirited: This is not surprising given that evolutionary thinking has been transforming the minds of Westerners and Americans for many long years. From cave-man movies to the GEICO cave-man commercials, to the teaching of Darwinism in universities and grade-schools, to evolution-themed science fiction, the constant implication is that life began at the bottom and has been riding an upward moving escalator from primordial matter to dinosaurs, to cave-man to man to deep space extraterrestrials.
Modern Westerners cannot think straight because evolution inverts creation, and where a god is mentioned it is an evolving nature deity such as Teilhard’s invention.
Teilhard’s deity finally emerges out of but remains completely immanent within matter, which by virtue of this deity is now spiritual rather than physical, and divine.
