Just 35 percent of conservatives said they had a "great deal of trust in science" in 2010, a 28 percent decline since 1974, when 48 percent of conservatives--about the same percentage as liberals--trusted science. Liberal and moderate support for science has remained essentially flat since 1974
Have there been any scientific discoveries in the last 40 years that conservatives have agreed with? Or is all knowledge considered suspicious?
Unless they go to witch doctors when they get sick, I say they are hypocrites. Don't computers and the internet fall under scientific discoveries? I'm sure many of them use those.
It is no coincidence that Rick Santorum is one of the top two candidates in this year's GOP race. The guy thinks knowledge and education are flat-our dangerous. His dislike of education, being it K-12 or college, is palpable.
Basically, he's terrified that people are going to learn too much. And science is the bane of people who fear the populace understanding things.

Doesn't Rick Santorum have graduate degrees? I think his parent has a Phd.
The conservatives want to please Jesus. After all, scientists will go to hell, religious people will go to heaven for eternal bliss.
