The researcher:
"The sign of the correlation indicates that science comprehension decreases as political outlooks move in the rightward direction--i.e., the more "liberal" and "Democrat," the more science comprehending."
Westwall:
"Yale university researcher studies conservatives and progressives and finds that conservatives understand science BETTER than the progressives".
Very interesting, the way Westwall claims the researcher says the precise opposite of what the researcher actually said.
Conclusion: If Westwall wants people to stop thinking conservatives are dopes, he should post less often.
I wonder what percentage of so called conservatives actually believe the earth is six thousand years old? That would make an interesting study.
Very, very small. It is a very small group of evangelicals who hold to that belief. Not even
Catholics believe that. You are grasping at straws because your preconceived notion of superiority has been shot all to hell by a liberal professor.
What a pathetic ass you are....

And that very small group actually has real power over the Republican party and conservatives in terms of how you are perceived. That's power.

"Except that it has the opposite sign: that is, identifying with the Tea Party correlates positively (r = 0.05, p = 0.05) with scores on the science comprehension measure:"
In other words...for the learning impaired like our dear old admiral here....THE MOST conservative of the Repubs are more scientifically literate than the Democrats.

Dude, an r of .05 makes the statistics useless, regardless of the p value. That is an r^2 of .0025. It says that the independent variable doesn't predict any thing.
But your posting it as demonstating something sure is appropriate. Kinda proves the point.
It's a higher value than that which the climatologists found in the oceans where they claim that is solid evidence that oceans ate the warming!

So which is it!
Good rebuttal *shaking head*
Conservatives are mostly dumb, simple minded and with zero honesty today
From your perspective as one who is severely retarded, can you explain how the fact that stupidest people on the forum, you included, are all leftists?
You see, I have a thesis that leftism is built on a foundation of stupidity - so that it will attract people like you.
Oh BTW - which banned leftist troll are you? I could guess, but we cannot speak the name of the pink....

No, it doesn't. The amount of power those extremists is far less than the power progressives have over the Democrat party and they are truly the most religious nutters of them all. Their belief systems boggle the mind. No other political system has killed more people than progressivism worldwide.
At least the people who think the world is 6,00 years old don't want to kill me because I don't agree with them. That's the purview of the Progressives.

You need to get off Beck, Rush, Levine,m etc, it's killing the few brain cells you might have left....
Apparently name calling is one of the finer attributes of open mindedness.

What's truly funny is in a Yale research paper it was found conservatives have a much better grasp of science than the libs who think they do.
It turns out that there is about as strong a correlation between scores on the science comprehension scale and identifying with the Tea Party as there is between scores on the science comprehension scale and Conservrepub.
Except that it has the opposite sign: that is, identifying with the Tea Party correlates positively (r = 0.05, p = 0.05) with scores on the science comprehension measure:

In this dataset, I found that there is a small correlation (r = -0.05, p = 0.03) between the science comprehension measure and a left-right political outlook measure, Conservrepub, which aggregates liberal-conservative ideology and party self-identification. The sign of the correlation indicates that science comprehension decreases as political outlooks move in the rightward direction--i.e., the more "liberal" and "Democrat," the more science comprehending.

Interesting response. Based on your elementary rantings above I had the impression you were a so-called "liberal."
You mean like the Founding fathers, the most radical liberals of the day, not the conservatives (Torries) who stood with King George in 1776? Yes, I am a huge liberal, unlike a conservative who can''t/doesn't use reason, logic or honesty....
You're a Big Daddy Government supporter. The FF valued freedom and personal liberty -- things progressives hate.
You'd have informed on the FF to King George. Guaranteed.

I don't listen to any of them. I mainly listen to NPR and classic rock stations.
