"A lot of scientific issues have become politicized," Miller says. "I think this report is kind of tiptoeing around that reality, where the [u.S.] Republican party has sought political support from voters with religious views who are often hostile to science."

"Ours is the first study of the U.S. public that examines perspectives on science and religion in tandem," he said. "In doing so, our study uncovers a previously unidentified group of well-informed people who are appreciative of science and technology's social uses, but who are deeply religious and who reject certain scientific theories in favor of religious ones."

Among these post-seculars, more than 90 percent agree with contemporary scientific theories about geology, radioactivity, and planetary motion, but only 6 percent believe that the universe began with a huge explosion. Even fewer -- 3 percent of post-seculars -- agree that humans evolved from earlier animals.

In addition, 48 percent of post-seculars believe that the Bible is the literal word of God, compared to 31 percent of all U.S.adults, 46 percent of traditionals, and 3 percent of moderns. Post-seculars also report the greatest strength of religious affiliation as compared to traditionals and moderns.

uhm no,

the National Geographic is as left as left can get and ITS crying about its own perception

about being (in your words) - persecuted?

the large bold faced type whining out loud is meant for us to believe that the bastards on the right are holding us down? War? lol

I don't care about whatever opinion they have. I'm talking about the factual, non opinionated data that was posted and graphed.

Sorry Cysko, but there's nothing humane about conducting medical tests on a subject who understands what's going on and is unwilling.

It's not any different than what unit 731 did. 731's atrocious acts made Mengele and the Nazis look like girl scouts. Here's a wiki on them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731

I Don't Expect you to agree with me but since the dregs of society are just sitting around costing us money we might as well use them for medical experiments. Why subject a pig to it? The pig didn't murder a bunch of people. Besides testing on humans is the only way to know for sure what it will actually do to humans.

Nazi Germany experimented on innocent people. Children even. Convicted murderers can fuck themselves. They have no value to society so I could care about their rights.

People are saying all of this stuff like only terrible dictatorships are capable of it. The Tuskegee experiments in the US infected healthy black men with syphilis under the false pretense of immunizations. I'd rather we not go back down that road.

I would think maybe asking death row inmates if they wanted to volunteer for experimental treatments and other such things would be ethically fine. But forcing prisoners to submit to medical tests and procedures would make us another Nazi Germany.

And though I can't provide exact numbers I would assume that only a tiny fraction of murderers wind up on death row, and those that do have probably committed the most heinous of crimes.

Well just to be the devil's advocate we do require them to submit to the gas chamber or whatever form of execution the state uses...

Like Unit 731? No thanks.

Are you talking about the Japanese? I doubt many scientists would perform thr kind of things they were doing and it was disgusting but they weren't testing on the dregs of society but plain old subjugated citizens.

And Like it or not they made medical advances

bio med sciences aside-

the chart above isnt only skewed towards the left, its an obama led paradigm shift!

I mean every red blooded tea party libertarian republican WANTS fracking

the wimpy fracking total above smacks of liberal mass transit types!

also - no self respecting republican will agree with such high total favoritism with bio fuels!

it costs more $$ to develop than to offset benefit!

our motto on spending money for failed endeavors are an anathema 😉

Tell me the results wouldn't have a great deal of benefit, Vapor.
