Who Denies Science?

Clarice Feldman, writing for American Thinker, takes on the allegation that conservatives are big science deniers. Her article is thorough and establishes both that the left denies science, and that many alleged cases where the right denied science were in fact nothing of the sort.

Sensibly Feldman avoids dealing with evolution, the one area where the right has some guilt, in my judgment. A fair analyst would have to grant that a sizable minority of people on the right deny evolution.

We in the U.S. operate a "big tent" political system where either party needs to assemble a majority to win. I'm willing to share the GOP with people who don't believe in evolution, but do share my views on small government, strong defense, etc.

Fortunately, beliefs vis-a-vis evolution make absolutely no difference in the continued functioning thereof. The fittest continue to out-survive and out-thrive the rest.
