While I can't comment on your experience or on other religions, most conservative Christians favor reducing the level of government intervention in our personal lives and would hate the idea of universal ignition interlocks. A loud minority probably would love it.
You know how it feels when some idiot who's supposed to represent your group misrepresents your group in a very public way? Yeah, we "religious fundie assholes" get that a lot.
Ironic, but this conservative decided to try Firefox right before the 2004 election after hearing that Microsoft was one of the top three corporate contributers (per capita) to the Kerry campaign. Or something like that...who remembers stats anyway?
Thats one of the reasons why I transfered to a private university, I feel the education I am getting right now is a more expensive but the quality is a lot higher.
I strongly agree. Here at Cedarville University (a private college with an excellent engineering program), both the professors and advisors are awesome.
...but what indisputable evidence do we have for the hypothesis of evolution? I was under the impression that the scientific community held to it only because there are no other "scientific" answers out there.
Give me a break, people. We've figured out next to nothing about the origin of life--the best we can do is to keep open minds and maintain an open dialouge. That includes the flaws in evolution. Even in schools.
No kidding. Since the Enlightenment, "science" has been increasingly defined as "the systematic, empirical analysis of natural phenomena." Anything supernatural is precluded a priori. Thus, it's not really fair to dismiss God as "unscientific," because under today's rules, "science" isn't even allowed to talk about Him.

"Platypus" wouldn't communicate that it is full of bugs quite so effectively.

YES. And most of my friends think the same way. Why don't we see manufacturers actually making cars like this?
My strategy: own no single item worth more than $200. Simple, cheap, worry-free, and pleasantly un-American.
Tiny bubbles are also good for sinking ships. Decrease the density of the water, decrease the buoyant force on the boats. Source
