The statistics are sobering, "Because for 60 percent of Americans it is literally, word-for-word true. For Protestants, that figure is 73 percent. For Evangelicals, it’s 87 percent." This should be the Poster Child for our crisis of science illiteracy.

The Leaky Noah's Ark Tale (part 2 of 2)
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.

There May Be A Good Reason You Don't Understand Something
"The next time you hear something you don't understand, ask for
clarification. You don't have to be apologetic about it, and the
situation doesn't have to be confrontational. Those with science and
facts and evidence on their side will be happy to explain what they
mean. If the speaker cannot explain what he is talking about in plain
language--or without resorting to other, even less clear terms and
concepts--that's a warning sign that there's confusion on both ends of
the line."

Scientific Illiteracy: A Tragedy Of Our Times
“One of the great tragedies of modern society is that we have politicians cherry-picking science in the interests of their own social, cultural, political and religious belief systems, and that’s the beginning of the end of an informed democracy.”
