> In the past decade or so a proposed amendment to ban flag burning was met with derisive laughter, as was culture warrior attempts to subvert science teaching in schools with “Intelligent Design.”
The idea is to look for clues that indicate whether an intelligence is behind what we see. And the idea that we should not look for such clues is based on a presumption, not on science. The presumption is that there can be no such clues, that wherever evidence of evolution exists, it must be presumed that it happened all on its own. So what is *really* being taught is that science believes that God to be unnecessary. Of course, no one can *prove* God is unnecessary; He is just presumed out of the picture.
But in our God-hating culture, presumptions are science. This is what I mean when I have said, in other threads, that if libertarians and free-marketers want our help, we have to agree on who the enemy is. What religious conservatives want is to be able to raise our children with our values, not those of our liberal adversaries and the bankrupt moral culture that is foisted on us.
And while liberals are attacking our cherished institutions, they are attacking libertarians’ and free marketers’ institutions as well. You’d think they would want our help to fight their battles, rather than just heckle us from the sidelines while we both get our butts kicked.
So. Want our help? Or not?
