midwife, i too am waiting for such evidence.
louis it's not a windup and not false equivalences. you are intolerant of bigotry. that's all. you have an opinion and i agree that having an opinion is not the same as acting upon it (which you seem to have made the explanatory difference).
i said nothing about whether or not it made you a bad person etc. i think you are a fine person, even if you are sort of gay. some of my wifes best friends are gay for example.
back to anti-evolution and presidential politics, any of these douchebags who want to be president would be anti-evolution if they thought that could make them win. the same with any other platform (hence the long digression into what is wrong with nation-states and representative government in general). As others have noted, what you do about that is the critical piece of information. Engaging and educating the public (those you have access to) about the best most recent science is by far the tact with the biggest payoff.
why? not because an informed public will educate that philosopher kings that rule them, but because those douchebags want their power so they will pander to the loudest most influential base. That is not the same as being led to rational conclusions, and so much of the 'get involved and make a difference' poofery best reserved for college freshman is predicated on the assumption that decisions are made in this manner. The cynical machiavellian view best represents political reality.
