Then don't impose *YOUR* irreligion on us!

--I've wanted to say that for a long time--just on general principles after being lectured on 'keeping religion in its place' ;-)

If you want to have a science site with a Darwinistic bent, great. But FR is about conservatism, not Darwinism--don't try to turn it into THAT...

Full Disclosure: The point is, if you want to discuss science, great. Can't we get a gentleman's agreement that on the pure biology and/or science threads, that crevo food fighters stay OFF of them unless the poster of the thread explicitly invites it?

There ought to be a way to have biology postings without it turning into a flame war, every time...

Cheers!

Simple:

Leave out the word, thought, idea, consept of EVOLUTION in them!

Just talk about what IS; not what might, could, should, oughtta BE!!!

Heck, I'm Catholic. I don't accept the inerrancy of Scripture and I think a lot of people worship a book rather than God, but that does not make me irreligious.

The anti-science bent of a lot of folks, especially here on FR, is really hurting the conservative movement. Conservatism should appeal to the rationalist, regardless of religious affiliation or lack thereof. Of late, however, the fundies have been trying to drive anyone not a born-again Protestant Christian from the movement, which will, in the end, kill the very things they want to promote.
