Sci\u00adence and reli\u00adgi\u00adon pre\u00adsent two para\u00addo\u00adxes in the United Sta\u00adtes. On the one hand, the U.S. is the undis\u00adpu\u00adted world lea\u00adder in sci\u00adence.<\/strong><\/u> Yet, the U.S. is also the wealt\u00adhy indu\u00adstria\u00adli\u00adzed coun\u00adtry with the most wide\u00adspread skep\u00adti\u00adcism about sci\u00adence, most nota\u00adb\u00adly regar\u00adding cli\u00adma\u00adte chan\u00adge, vac\u00adci\u00adnes, and evo\u00adlu\u00adti\u00adon. How can tho\u00adse two see\u00admingly incom\u00adpa\u00adti\u00adble facts be reconciled?<\/p><\/blockquote>\nVery sim\u00adply, we take the sen\u00adtence high\u00adligh\u00adted abo\u00adve and sta\u00adte: Ame\u00adri\u00adcans are geared to always be the best of the best of the best at ever\u00adything - peri\u00adod, and no more questions!<\/p>\n
Thin\u00adking a bit more complex:
\nBecau\u00adse they 'belie\u00adve' instead of 'kno\u00adwing', and when they do know it's often kno\u00adwing just *alter\u00adna\u00adti\u00adve facts*. Main\u00adly, more than 60%. And 40% of them said *angels* were phy\u00adsi\u00adcal\u00adly among us on this pla\u00adnet. Anyo\u00adne who belie\u00adves some\u00adthing like that can\u00adnot take sci\u00adence serious\u00adly becau\u00adse they have no idea about it.<\/p>\n
We know that when\u00adever the\u00adre is a misun\u00adderstan\u00adding, the\u00adre are two beha\u00advi\u00adors that are very easy to describe:
\n - Making fun of what you don't understand
\nor
\n - build up aggres\u00adsi\u00adon against the statement\/the per\u00adson making the statement.<\/p>\n
We see both in the land of unli\u00admi\u00adt\u00aded oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty, the land of capi\u00adta\u00adlism, the land of the (alle\u00adgedly) free.<\/p>\n
