Hummmmm. . .well, now, is evolution a right wing theory or a left wing theory?

Left-wing. There is no such thing as a conservative theory. There are conservative writers, sure, but conservatism is not a theory at all. It is more a set of principles, a view of life, of humanity. I think an essential of conservatism is a Christian perspective, a belief that there is both good and evil in the world and that it will always be such. There is no utopianism in conservatism and all theories tend to be utopian to some extent.

I agree. There's lots of people on FR that argue in favor of evolution. They think they're conservatives. It hit me a little while ago when debating about women in combat that the one who argue on the side of using women as combat soldiers are liberals, by definition. Then it occured to me that you could say that about evolutionists, too.
