I like conservative govt (limited). I like conservative values (honor, integrity, individualism, freedom, free markets, responsibilty). Hijacking the conservative cause to include ID has little to do with conservatism and makes conservatives looking like ignorant yahoos.
Evolution theory in no way says there is no god. It is a plausible explanation with a decent set of incomplete facts to back it up, that explains within the current laws of physics how things came to be.
Well, Darwinism is intrinsically neither conservative nor liberal. Communists tend to like it because it is "scientific" and materialist and in its stronger versions leaves no room for God. Nazis tend to like it because it supports their views about racial superiority and eugenics. The ACLU likes it because it helps them drive any semblance of religion or morality out of the schools.
Not that Intelligent Design theory, properly understood, is religious, but any possible hint of religion is enough to drive the ACLU up the wall.
Sure, it's possible to be both Christian and a limited Darwinist, but it's obvious that Darwin is often used as a tool to attack or deny religious beliefs.
Where I think political conservatism and Darwinism are colliding, at the moment, is the fact that activist judges are using Darwin as a tool to impose illegitimate and unconstitutional restraints on the public schools. Darwinism is one issue. Pushing Darwinism down our throats by judicial decree is another issue, and it's certainly not a conservative way of doing things.
