Ah. You're probably right. My first thought was natural law=law of the jungle. I now vaguely recall that there is a set of concepts collectively known as natural law. My mistake.

You're probably thinking Hobbes: "state of nature," ie anarchy. No biggie.

That 'creationist junk' has as much founding as evolution.

Actually, if you venture into the science forums, you'll see many intelligent threads on exactly why creationism is awful, horrible, and incredibly stupid bull****.

Teaching creationism in science class is like teaching holocaust denial in history class.

Be fair...creationism isn't quite as bad as holocaust denial. However, neither subject deserves serious study in America's schools.

Right...so when are the Christian right going to quit whining and depending on political correctness to get away with what they do?

Got you rolls reversed here, I think. Political correctness is the whine of the liberal; almost exclusively.

That is exactly the opposite of true. While the name may not be the same, the official osition of the right-wing seems to be "if you say anything negative about our side, it is hate speech, and should be stopped". Conservatives are the masters of whining, from their lie that religious freedom is at risk from the ACLU, to their lie about "liberal media bias".

I disagree. Political correctness is what republicans stick to so they don't say something overtly racist, sexist, etc. Not that the occassional freudian slip doesn't get out.

I disagree. The motives are somewhat different (although you'll often find the same people advocating both), if you judge each belief based on fact they're quite comparably from an intellectual standpoint.
