OK, tell me this: What are all those links and drawings suppose to prove? Boil it down to one sentence. Tell me what it's all suppose to prove. Man's ascent from slimemold? Tell me the bottom line, then I'll look at your links, and tell you whether you've proven your point.

Willful ignorance is NOT a Conservative value.

BTW, what has blind adherence to evolution got to do with conservatism? Your social allies seem to be the leftist mainstream media, and you legal ally seems to be the ACLU.

This topic is important to many of us because we believe that modern conservatism, as a reality-based political position, should be stongly on the side of science.

As Barry Goldwater put it:

I cherish a day when our children once again will restore as heroes the sort of men and women who - unafraid and undaunted - pursue the truth, strive to cure disease, subdue and make fruitful our natural environment and produce the inventive engines of production, science, and technology.

We feel this issue is critical to future national compeditiveness, and we object to anti-science notions becoming associated with conservative politics.

Furthermore, many of us believe that creationism/intelligent design is not only bad science, but bad theology as well.

Did you check PatrickHenry's List-O-Links? Lots of stuff in there to study from and expand one's knowledge.

There is overwhelming evidence that shows a path from modern man to early Hominids and before that from proto-human animals. There is even MORE overwhelming evidence on speciation.

That is the summary. You need to do the research to refute it. All of the articles and links point to recognized and respected and peer-reviewed science journals.

Like "blind adherence" to physics, astronomy, chemistry, and all those other evil satanic practices. Yes, you are right. The Earth is flat and the Universe is 6,000 years old. And that EVIL telescope must be removed so no comets ever hit Springfield again.

There is no "social" issue here. If you think that kids should be taught that Angels keep airplanes aloft (which I assume to be your stance) then I guess you can get that listed as science, once it passes scientific muster.

I just find it saddening and maddening that so-called "conservatives" want our children to be ignorant and years behind their peers in advanced countries like Turkey.
