Radical, Dude
Ann Coulter, The Discovery Institute, and William Dembski all say the theory of evolution is godless liberalism -- a false religion if ever there was one.
Larry Arnhart, a professor of political science at Northern Illinois University, wants to convince fellow conservatives that the "Darwinian science of human nature supports their realist view of human imperfectability, and it refutes the utopian view of the Left that human nature is so completely malleable that it can be shaped to conform to any program of social engineering."
RSR isn't really in a position to help the right sort this mess out, but we will suggest that the science of evolution (if not some dubious interpretations of it) lies outside the sphere of both politics and religion.
