You don't get a reputation for being "anti science" unless you really ARE "anti science".
Republicans are "anti science". The closest they come to denial is saying, "We don't hate science, just scientists". It's like hating doctors but loving medicine. Or hating soldiers but loving the military. They kinda go "hand in hand".
Obama has a reputation for being a socialist and a Muslim. Using your logic, we can now settle the issue, because you have chimed in and said that he wouldn't have that reputation if it wasn't true.
Hey, Derp -- that's some of that logic stuff that gives you so much trouble.
You do not give the scentific community the respect it deserves.
That means you hate sceince for not agreeing with your poltical postions.
YOU are the people injecting poltics into sceince
The scientific community has more of my respect than the idiots that are in charge of it.
Hilarious. "Science is good", but not the scientists who discover it. Of course, the right wing knows more about science than those dumb old scientists ever will. It's so obvious.
The only thing you can "prove" is that a polluted Chinese river is in Texas.Obama has a reputation for being a socialist and a Muslim. Using your logic, we can now settle the issue, because you have chimed in and said that he wouldn't have that reputation if it wasn't true.
Hey, Derp -- that's some of that logic stuff that gives you so much trouble.
Not really. That "reputation" comes from the American right wing. The most universally laughed at political party in the entire world. As a group, the vast majority believe that "Noah's Ark" is much more believable than evolution. In fact, they insist the Grand Canyon is "evidence" of the "Great Flood". I can prove it's not in less than 100 words.

You hush. The Onion is a legitimate, respected news source.The only thing you can "prove" is that a polluted Chinese river is in Texas.Not really.

It was in The Onion, right?
OMG, "Einstein didn't go to college.""We don't hate science, we hate scientists".
You gotta admit it's pretty damn funny.
Thought it was especially hilarious that on another thread, a right winger tried to convince me a guy who had studied "computer science, television and writing fiction" is a fully qualified "scientist". The argument was "Albert Einstein didn't go to college". Is it any wonder right wingers don't trust science?
First, they don't know what a scientist is and second "it's too hard" and third, without any education (or even with) shimmering a man into being from a pile of dirt sounds just as "real" as say, a "black hole" or "evolution", especially if you refuse to look at the data or don't understand the concept.

I actually said that to make the point that education is not what made Einstain smart.
By the way, he didn't go to college, he went to the equivalent of ITT Tech.

Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, Wuerttemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. His boyhood was spent in Munich, where his father, who owned electro-technical works, had settled. The family migrated to Italy in 1894, and Albert was sent to a cantonal school at Aarau in Switzerland. He attended lectures while supporting himself by teaching mathematics and physics at the Polytechnic School at Zurich until 1900. Finally, after a year as tutor at Schaffthausen, he was appointed examiner of patents at the Patent Office at Bern where, having become a Swiss citizen, he remained until 1909.
It was in this period that he obtained his Ph.D. degree at the University of Zurich and published his first papers on physical subjects.
These were so highly esteemed that in 1909 he was appointed Extraordinary Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Zurich. In 1911 he accepted the Chair of Physics at Prague, only to be induced to return to his own Polytechnic School at Zurich as full professor the next year. In 1913 a special position was created for him in Berlin as director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute. He was elected a member of the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences and received a stipend sufficient to enable him to devote all his time to research without any restrictions or routine duties.

You do realize that does not actually prove me wrong, don't you? He didn't go to college, he got a degree. In fact, the exact same year he got his PhD, he published 4 additional ground breaking papers, one of which was his paper on special relativity, which should tell you more than I ever could about his college studies.
You should try writing 5 different PhD level papers in one year sometime, and use the least important one to actually get a degree.
You know how you can tell when Derp is lying?What's especially hilarious is if you go through these threads, Republicans go on about the US having so much oil, we just have to develop the technology to make developing those sources feasible.
Do they understand who develops that technology? Apparently not.
The same with, well, just about everything. They seem to suggest that scientists do nothing, but however new technologies are developed, it must be someone besides "scientists".

Were you also defending some guy who debunks science, saying he's a scientist? The guy had studied computer science in at a university in Utah. He studied television and wrote fiction? And you defended those "credentials"? That was you, right?

No, I was defending a guy who debunks ghosts and psychics. I wasn't aware those are sciences, unless you are a member of the AAAS, which is only 6% Republican.

Don't make me go look.
I suspect that 6% of scientists being Republican is a tad high. Though I'm not sure. Seems 94% of scientists believe in evolution. Notice how those numbers fit together.

In fact (pun intended) I will make it easy for you.
