Roger,
On the contrare, science is a product of the left, more or less,
whereas anti-evolution is a product of the right, more or less.
Science is selfcorrecting and so the left is constantly re-examining
its conclusions whether in science or sociology.
Whereas the right is unable to correct itself because it is based on
the bible or some such tradition. So as a result, the right thinks it
cannot be wrong because everything they believe is ordained by God.
The left has no such limitation, thank god.

Dear Richard,
As I read your post above I was filled with a large diversity of
emotions and ruminated a long time over whether or not to respond to it.
I think that you might appreciate a different point of view. I happened
to have been raised by a family that was a prototypical "Bible Thumper"
even to the point that my parents where missionaries to a foreign
country where I learned via "home schooling". I discovered after many
years that it is only a very small minority of people that actually live
their lives under the belief that "everything is ordained by a
person-like God". I also discovered, as I have continued my education,
that there is another minority that believe that "everything is
ordained" but not by some kind of person but instead by inhuman entities
named "boundary conditions" and "initial conditions". What is the real
difference other than naming conventions?
Could you stop for a moment and think about the idea that nothing
at all is "ordained <http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ordained>"
and that the concept is a fiction that we have habituated ourselves into
believing merely because it gives us a comfortable illusion of control.
Humans are strange creatures, if they can't control things themselves
they will accept that someone else that is a friend controls things, but
get all crazy angry at even the hint that someone else could control
things to the disadvantage of the home team. Control freaks, we are such
control freaks that we are entirely missing the point of it all. Laws of
Nature are merely a concept we invented to explain things to ourselves,
no one has the power to control all things. Power is a delusion.
I challenge you to write about one example of a real person that is
well known as a Leftist that does not believe that "everything is
ordained" by something. You should spend a little time thinking hard
about what you are saying here as it is a massive exercise in
self-contradiction.
