Re: Politics and evolution
quote:
If we consider political alignment, I think it is fair to say that creationists are more likely to be Republican supporters and evolutionists, Democratic supporters. The link between creationists and Republicans is obviously strong belief in the bible. Although it is also obvious we have a few outspoken Republican evolutionists on the site, I suggest this general trend still holds true. It is conservative Republican politicians, after all, who are behind the assault on evolution in the public schools.
A strong belief in the Bible isn't enough.
It has to be a strong belief in a particular interpretation of the Bible, combined with a lack of education in Biology.
Religiously-maintained ignorance is required, especially for the rank and file.

Well, obviously with Creationism this is required, but it is also required for much of the NeoCon agenda; religiously-maintained ignorance of where terrorism really comes from, of the reality of global warming, of human-caused environmental degradation, of patriarchy, etc.
