They come here and the place is all gunked up with Creationist Threads......and they wonder just what kind of people they are aligning themselves with. The Conservative Movement loses a new member.

Same Lib that has finally "had it" with the dems listens to the TV news and hears about the "conservative" creationists in Kansas that want to roll back the clock 200 years to before Darwin. And the conservative movement loses a new member.

Which is more likely? The potential new conservative coming to FR, or the potential new conservative watching the MSM?

What my personal goal here is to stop this creationist lunacy before it ever gets seriously identified with "conservatives". It that were to happen, it would do as much damage to us as the gay marriage issue has done the dems.

I think the actual result in the potential conservative recruit coming to FR and finding creationist threads like this one, would be that 1) conservatives have the freedom to discuss the pros and cons of the issues. And 2) creationism is not a litmus test for conservatives, as abortion is for Libs. I think the result would be a new conservative recruit that felt welcome no matter whether they're creationist or scientist.

My post on a related Thread from this last Sunday:


I'm a Creationist!

God created the Universe approximately
4.5 billion years ago and has been active
in its evolution ever since.

He is not hasty. He takes his time.
Occasionally He will take a rest. On
other occasions he will work with a
flurry of activity. His work
is wonderful.

It is left to us to divine His hand. The
more His Truths are discovered through the
methodology of Science the more beautiful
His Creation becomes.

Maybe I should add that unlike some people, my Faith is strong enough that I don't feel threatened by Evolution.
