The problem is the false association of evolution with socialism.

In simple historical fact, Darwin got the idea for evolution from the Scottish economists (i.e., Adam Smith). Evolution has traditionally been blamed for lazie-faire capitalism. It is somewhat comical to see it associated with socialism.

Even today there is great angst among liberals about the implications of evolution -- people are not all the same, individuals differ inately in their abilities, and so forth.

Liberals are all for teaching "science" as long as it doesn't impinge on their fantasies.

You are absolute wrong if you think the evolution supporters on this forum have nothing nasty to say about the way liberals distort, deny and misuse science.

The problem is that science is apolitical, and people as individuals are not.

Science is/are people(scientists).. People (scientists) can easily be in a 2nd reality.. and will/can adjust their "science" to that reality.. its back to the "observer" problem.. Some scientists are SoupNazis.. others are George Costanza's.. yet others are Kramers..

Too flippant about this(me)?... Maybe... Discussing science can be FUN..
