ARRRGH. Two threads going :-)

Originally liberals were social conservatives who advocated growth and progess

For an enlightening experience look up the word "liberalism" on Merriam Webster Online. I did and was shocked when I learned that I was a liberal.

Evolutionistas are liberal moles---cancer!

Once upon a time I believed in evolution, and I'm still willing to consider the scientific arguments. What caused me to drift away more than anything was that it's advocates appeared to be defending it as a religion rather than a scientific theory.

I've said before that I'm willing to go back to it and accept Genesis as an allegory. My faith in Jesus and God won't be affected in the least.

What bothers me more than anything in this debate is that evolution proponents don't seem willing to consider the possibility that macro-evolution may not have occurred and that there is strong evidence for this.

Evolution is a denial of reality...all rationalizations---self will/wishful thinking(no foundation)!

Well, I am able to consider the fact that macro-evolution may not have occurred but that poses more problems than it is able to solve.
One more thing I want to know is whether all species that ever lived (animal or plant) were created at one point in the past or whether they were created consecutively.

There is not. There is not a single devestating counter-example of procreation extant which could not hope to be explained by evolutionary theory. All there is, of note, is lack of evidence about particular issues, as there is in all natural sciences, but about which far too much is made for evolutionary science.

Most American Conservatives are Classical Liberals to at least some degree. The problem is what socialists who call themselves liberal have done to the term in the last 90 years.
