No, I think you're missing my point. I'll try again. I say the evolutionists on FR (and elsewhere) who are using their science as a weapon to insult and beat up on religious conservatives are being used as political tools by the Marxists. And the Marxist goals for this effort is to further split the conservative movement, help them eliminate any mention of God from our public life, and make it that much easier for them to destroy the rest of our God-given rights. Bringing forth a socialist Utopia is their ultimate goal (IMHO).

And it appears to working out for them. Too bad and too sad.

Who here on Free Republic is using science as a "weapon" to "insult and beat up on religious conservatives", and how exactly is this being done?

The Dems certainly do want to see the conservative movement fractured. I don't think there is any disagreement there. I've written many times on FR that conservatives and libertarians need each other, and should try to bury the hatchet. I've tried to bury the hatchet with a number of people on FR and have discovered shortly thereafter the hatchet buried between my shoulderblades. I tried to make peace with Cultural Jihad once and it turned out badly.

If we're going to stay united against the socialists, religious conservatives need to realize that modern biology isn't the enemy. None of us are "evolutionists". I don't "believe" in evolution in the religious sense. Calling us darwin-idolaters and evilutionists plays into the hands of the Dems, because it helps them portray the conservative movement as the party of luddites. I agree that some of the secular conservatives around here need to be more respectful of the beliefs of the religious conservatives. I try to be respectful of people's faith. I am not without some measure of faith myself.

There are many in the scientific community who regularly run into the wall and ponder the notion of God. But it's unrevealed, unobservable and therefore beyond the published realm. They will follow faithfully never taking the leap.

But then isn't that God's point in creation?

Some are, some aren't (IMHO).

Some are just -- as some other poster said -- playing "mine's bigger than yours."

But there are those who -- in complaining about the lack of scientific credentials -- are playing right into the lefty's hands, by making "intellectual attainments" the only measure of a person's worth.

What they seem to forget is that most of life is about something more than merely academic attainments. Which is why Lance Armstrong made more money than most scientists. :-)

Thanks again for FR, Jim.

Cheers!

Bumpity bump BUMP!

Thank you, all, for your posts.
I, especially, thank you, Jim.

They have Darwin Central.
But, they DO need "us" to further their cause.

I pray that is not allowed to happen.

Repeating...
