Sure, but Tom Weller in Science made Stupid (Hugo Award winner 1986) already covered that ground much better than I could ever have:
Evolutionism
Evolutionists hold that man arose by the same gradual process as other creatures. This belief follows from the principle that the same laws of nature apply to man as to the rest of the physical world.
The Evolutionist Model... demonstrates how an ancestral "ape-man" could have evolved an upright stance and humanlike physiology. However, it does not explain the tremendous expansion of the intellect and other intangibles that characterize humanity.
Creationism
Creationists, on the other hand, believe that man was created instantaneously by a cosmic powered super-being from another dimension. This belief is based on ancient, heavily retranslated writings taken from badly decomposed fragments of scroll found in a series of caves in the middle-east.
The Creationist Model ... explains the advent of human intelligence by ascribing it to divine fiat in the creation of the first humans, Adam and Eve. A major weakness is that it fails to account for the origin of Adam and Eve's daughters-in-law.
A MODERN SOLUTION
Pictured below, we see how an open-minded approach to these conflicting theories can lead to the resolution of a major problem in each.

Perhaps after you've rested a bit, we can turn your formidable powers loose on the conservative / libertarian thing...
