If you've been raised around that kind of mindset, then, yes, you will think that evolution is the greatest crisis in America today--and I really don't blame some of the more passionaite YECs for thinking that. Not at all.

A thoughtful post. One of my concerns is that evolution has the potential to become a huge national issue for Republicans, somewhat like the other "social issues" that already poison the political arena, like abortion, school prayer, affirmative action, etc. Personally, I hate it when politicians at the national level have to get involved with these issues. Especially when it comes to the confirmation of judges. And I think it's ghastly that single-issue voters are motivated only by one of those issues, and not the larger issues of national defense, etc. I would judge it to be a catastrophe if Republicans ever ended up officially taking an anti-evolution position. The social issues should all be resolved at the state level (that's why we have a federal republic), and most of them shouldn't be decided politically at all.
