==The day the GOP adopts YEC as part of its platform
Who said anything about the GOP adopting a YEC platform? What they should adopt is a platform that calls for free market competition between creation, evolution, and intelligent design in which they are forced to stand on their own two feet, with no government support whatsoever. But the Evos won’t have that because they know that if the unconstitutional establishment of religion support of the government and the courts ever got knocked out from underneath the Temple of Darwinistic Materialism it would instantly collapse like a house of cards. But no matter, not even the government or the courts can save the HMS Beagle. It was doomed to break up on the rocks of scientific falsification the moment it set sail against God’s creation.
The result is that evolutionary biology is a valuable skill that will get you a job in any number of privately funded research labs, while being a “cdesign proponentist” means you might be able to make a living writing books for people even more ignorant and silly that yourself.
The dictates of the free market?
Evolution = has value in science.
I.D./Creationism = isn't science, has no value in science.
