True. And the Discovery Institute likes to place ID-oriented columns and op ed pieces everywhere it can. I guess only a Human Events editorial will tell us where they stand. So my title for this thread is, perhaps, a bit misleading. Still, the article highlights the division within the Republican party. My hope is that the party doesn't take any official stand for ID (and against science).
Many are still fighting the ancient battles. Communism was the great enemy of conservatism, and communism was seen as scientific, so things scientific must be against conservatism. However, to deny science is very difficult anymore. Did God create the universe? Okay, fine, but did God create the SUV and the Internet? Did God create the Federal government? Did God create science? How about money? Does money grow on trees? Etc. ad infinitum, ad nauseum. The ultimate conservative would live under a leafy tree and eat bugs and berries and marry the first woman he could catch and drag home. Everything else is reform, and anything but conservative.
