I'm suggesting that if those groups all got together and told me the sky was blue, I'd peak out the window (twice) before agreeing. I suspect a voluminous number of conservatives would peak out the window more times than that. My comment apparently struck a nerve with you; perhaps you'd peak out the window yourself as well if the issue in question was anything other than evolution. I don't think you should arrest any critical thinking whatsoever at all ... not even for the sake of evolution.

I'm right with you in challenging what liberals have to say, I do it every day (I attend a University, we, the College Republicans, live for challenging these mental cases). Your comment annoyed me, it had to be addressed; and since when did I show support for evolution? (searching... searching... comment not found). I merely criticized Intelligent Design and have no problem criticizing evolution if the evidence presented itself - this is the basis of the scientific method. If you've got evidence that disproves evolution, then I'm all ears! (So is the rest of the scientific community). At least evolution can be disproved, we are all aware of that.

It is not my agenda to see to it that evolution remains, it is my agenda to point out that ID is an idiotic idea designed to preserve religion from the "evils" of rational thought and scientific findings... a justification for all that you have already invested in this "absolute". It is you, my friend, arresting critical thought for the sake of your "faith".
