man springing from apes rather than the biblical account of creation; atheism; homosexualism; feminism; whacko environmentalism, etc) may be controversial, but not science itself.

Man springing from apes? Did you know we are still considered a great ape?

Guess what. Evolution is one of the premier sciences out there and this anti evolution nonsense makes the republicans look just plain pig ignorant.

There is scarcely a politician in America running on "evolution". There are however many a dissembling science types supporting and producing commercials of the Michael Fox genre that are filled with lies, half truths and garbage.

Does that irk you at all?

Hi:

My opinion may not be wanted here, but that's a good example of what disturbs me about many evos.

That sentence is a thinly veiled insult calling him 'pig ignorant'.

I myself believe in adaptation of species being the engine that created the diversity of life on this planet. But I do *not* agree with calling folks who disagree names.

Now why should I, as a reasonable person, be concerned about what I look like to someone who believes himself to be a "great ape". sheesh. ; D

Arguing about emotional issues also makes us look ignorant. You must accept that people have differences of opinion. Different opinions are not problems and allowing emotion to overwhelm rational debate is not helpful on any side of any issue. The coalescing of different opinions within one group is wherein we find strength and power.

"Guess what. Evolution is one of the premier sciences out there and this anti evolution nonsense makes the republicans look just plain pig ignorant."

That's the problem with crevo threads right there. All that is ever focused on by a good 90% (at least) of your dwindling ilk is the fact that the "rest of us" are "pig-ignorant".

Since most of us are not ensconced away in academia or a biology lab, us "pig-ignorants" are focused on a lot of day-to-day issues that affect our lives, our culture, and conservatism in general. Issues like tax rates, parental rights, criminal vs victim's rights, the WOT, etc etc.

Meanwhile, the (thankfully) shrinking clique of Darwinists seemed ONLY to focus on their one pet issue: Here's another thread about "How-stupid-Christians-are-disguised-as-a-Science-thread".

Everybody be nice...
