I'd say both sides of the political world ignore aspects of science when they feel like it, or it suits their agenda. The anti-vaccination beliefs among clusters of affluent, left-wing parents being a fair example of it on one side, while the denial of evolution by certain members of the right wing is a fair example on the other.
I suppose it depends on what you mean by "evolution." The people who bring that up seem to forget it's the "theory of evolution." And, if they're talking about limited change, I would't necessarily have a problem with that. But they usually mean that man over million of years descended from apes or some lower form of life, who by extension descended from something that crawled out of a prehistoric pond somewhere. That's ridiculous and has not and will never be proven as scientific "fact." Yet the evolution-loving, religion-bashing lefties just love to talk as if it has been proven.
