You do know that this is a Conservative site, right? Reveling in ignorance is not a conservative value.

You know that a person can believe in evolution, in God, and in Jesus and still be conservative. Oh my god a Bhuddist or a Hindu could be conservatives also and have a completely different set of creation beliefs. Hey I had a thought I think even an atheist could be a conservative. Don't make their tiny little heads explode!

So much for the concept of "bird's-eye view"...

"and that successive generations of bacteria won't mutate into a frog, no matter how many generations you have."
Don't forget: And also believes that anyone who strays from their self-righteous egocentric beliefs is going straight to hell. Or, anyone who thinks Earth is more than 6000 years old is "silly". Or, believes that Darwin is in hell, but the good Christians who were "native hunting" while he experimented with nature are in heaven.

"Mammals were once that way, too. But during the time of the dinosaurs, mammals became nocturnal and lost two of the four receptors but gained better light sensitivity for nocturnal vision. Hence, all mammals are dichromatic."
Wow, I am surely impressed some Evo was around to observe this change, rather than just making up some bullsh*t to explain why somehow we highly evolved humans don't have this type of vision. Now that's science.

Unfortunately, for some, to be conservative, you must be a white christian who believes in creationism, and never ever veers from that.
No thanks.
To: Windsong
What is the point of the question -- that conservatives cannot take an interest in questions to do with evolution or what?

I am always wishing those same people would go on over to hang with their intellectual equals in the democrat party.

You want all white Christians who believe in creation to become Democrats?

What is pure conjecture in the article: that some sort of evolution is involved. Nonsense. Genetic studies back up this assesment. It's in the full article, but you either have to pay for on-line access or have a paper subscription. It traces the genetic lineage regarding the color recepotrs of the different groups of animals involved. But then again, creationists apparently don't believe that genetic information indicates ranking of relationships between living things.

I'm just sick of the self righteous folk who have to apply a litmus test (THEIR litmus test of course) so that they can find out who is a true, upstanding morally right conservative like them.

To: Skooz
Nope just the intellectual giants in the Christian camp that confuse conservatism with their religion. We dont need them and they generally turn out to be knuckle dragging racists too and so fit much better with the libs.

...random mutations can add complexity to an organism that didn't already have it in it's genetic code...What is your measure of complexity?

Ditto my previous post.
For the record, I don't even know what "Stormfront" is.

Wow, how can you disagree with Trudeau?
I've read he took a high school biology class and has a PHD in cartoons.
IOW, He's a typical MSM expert on intelligent design and evolution, just like Chris Matthews.

Darned impressive post. A clear indication of what an intellectual giant you must be.
