John West of the Discovery Institute, which is pro-intelligent design, has written a great
article about Darwinism, and the attempt by some conservatives to either except it outright, or use parts of it to justify a traditional morality, while ignoring the dangers it poses, not least of which is that it has come to represent the new infallibility which Liberals trumpet and use against their enemies. As I have often noted, Liberals seem to lack an "irony" gene [to put it into terms they should appreciate] and so do not understand the perversity of their denigrating Religion for claiming absolute truth, while making the same claim for Science, when any Scientists will tell you that they never find " ultimate answers”, they only construct theories which fit the facts until they are inevitably overturned [hence Newton's Universe and laws were replaced by Einstein's]. Ignoring this, Liberals wage their crusades behind the infallibility of their science, and woe to anyone who opposes them, as their much heralded appreciation of freedom is the first casualty of their campaigns. West's article is interesting, informative and well written, and should be read by all Conservatives who have ever thought about Darwin.
