Is "libertarian" some kind of euphemism for "republican"? Because neither the Koch brothers nor the Tea Party sound even vaguely libertarian to me. Then again, in the USA a libertarian is a republican who is even more obsessed with taxes than the typical republican, so I guess it fits.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
