No but political affliation of the main pushers of the anti-vaxxer narrative IS important, and they are nearly all conservative sites. 

I'm referring the party who is openly skeptical of evolution and has a large segment who believe in Noah's Ark as a factual tale

Many people, including scientists, disagree that humans have much influence on climate, and there has been no proof that they have.

Maybe you can come up with some obscure "conservative" sites that promote anti-vaxxing, and both people who visit them are faithfully letting their kids die. I doubt they are actually conservative except in your narrow viewpoint that anyone who disagrees with your worldview is an evil conservative. But there's no way all of those Obama voters who didn't vaccinate their kids were influenced by "conservative sites."

First off, evolution is still less definitive than genetics, so those who deny that gender is determined by one's chromosomes is much deeper into science denial. Noah's Ark is religion, not politics, and most "intelligent design" talk is also religious-based (some isn't). I knew a physics professor who was also very religious, but not a conservative, who believed the world is only a few thousand years old. A physics professor! Go figure! I guess he thought that the universe was created with the light from distant stars already on its way.

The fact that certain religious people currently are mostly Republicans is because they see (from their viewpoint if not yours) that the Dems are proposing laws targeting their religion. It's not because conservatism is part of the religion.

Many more believe that it does, which is the crux of the matter. There is plenty of proof that it does but of course tribalism means it'll be completely disregarded as a plot to seize power. 

Also, you might want to look up the history of conservatism and religion, religious people aren't just conservative because they think Dems are trying to target their religion lmao.
