I do not understand why such an enlightened nation is embroiled in a senseless science vs. religion turmoil--and even more puzzled that some whom on other issues I recognise as fellow conservatives are, on this topic, so vehement in their assault on science.

It's a mystery to those of us on the pro-evolution (i.e. rational) side too. But now that you're here, you'll get a real taste of the turmoil.

Thanks for posting the article.

Project Steve. Over 700 "Steves," indicating 70,000 scientists support evolution.
The "Clergy Letter Project". 10,000 clergymen endorse evolution.
Statements from Religious Organizations. In favor of evolution.
Statements from Scientific and Scholarly Organizations. Sixty statements, all supporting evolution.

This is the issue in a nutshell.

"Pro-evolution?".

This is the language of a prosyletizer, an evangelist, not a scientist. And then you don;t even recognize that you start all this, run all the threadsm start the insults and provocations and it is still a mystery to you. I actually believe you might be that oblivious. The hallmark of the evolutionite zealots is not high intelligents or coherence of thought.

Of course evangelizing "pro-evolution" that is what the liberals mean when they say "pro-evolution". It has nothing to do with scientific integrity or investigation.

In using the term "pro-evolution" you've almost come to the point where you are intellectually honest and acknowledge that to you this is simply part of a civil war where you are on the liberal side against the side with more religious people.

Nothing to do with science.
