I.D. Decision a Travesty for the Right

Many of my conservative colleagues are fairly silent on the Dover Intelligent Design front. Some like John D. probably agree with the reversal. But Derb should look closer at the debate and realize that regardless of where you stand on the debate, the reversal is a victory for leftists. Why else would it get top billing across most of the major newspapers today?

As Derb pointed a few months ago, like it or not, Bill O'Reilly is seen as a conservative. If they take him down it is a leftist victory.

I was glad to see Klinghofffer get back into the fray on ID after the abyssmal ruling by the judge before Christmas. He concludes:

In short, with apologies to Judge Jones, there is no coherent reconciliation between God and Darwin. Attempts to show how we can have both faith in a spiritual reality (religion) and faith in pure materialism (Darwin) always end up vacuuming the essential meaning out of either God or Darwin.

And this, I think, is why some Darwin advocates dislike religion. It's why they fight it with such passion: Because negating religion is the reason behind their belief system. To their credit, they recognize a truth that others prefer not to see. That is: One may choose Darwin or one may choose God.
