Quote of the Day
"This debate only shows how much sections of the Left have just as much of a problem with evolution as some on the Christian Right." - Neil on this Crooked Timber thread.
I shall have more to say on this issue soon, but it turn out to be a defining feature of this decade that as science continues more and more to confirm traditional social norms and so many lasting conservative suspicions, the Left more and more makes a hasty retreat into just the same sort of camps of mysticism that Creationists of the Right have long erected.
