And then quit before she finished a single term. Must have been too hard for her to handle.

Only Six Percent Of Scientists Are Republicans: Pew Poll


What have republicans contributed to science with them only being 6% of scientists?

And if this world only had republicans would we even know the Earth revolves around the sun?
So just because most us favor difference careers save business of science we are less intelligent?



And we would have learn that alot earlier had the church had its power greatly limited.

The worst part is the staggering amount of logical fallacies contained within a post that purportedly celebrates the scientific powers of Democrats.

Yes, I am sure you are an expert on everything that is science.

The following are the official survey results for the above question, and what percentage of certain political groups knew the answer to the above question.

Conservative republican- 67.3%
Liberal Indep.- 67.2%
Liberal democrat- 64.0%
Liberal- 62.9%
Republican- 61.1%
ex.ex.......


The conservative republicans beat liberals Indep.'s by 1/10 of a percentage point. But liberals took 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place. This is certainly not a solid defeat by conservatives or republicans.

The above republican sources manipulated the survey results in a major way.

The following link shows the survey results from (all) American political groups.

More Than Half Of Democrats Do Not Know The Earth Revolves Around The Sun Once a Year


The full survey results do show certain kinds of democrats did poorly on the above survey question. Perhaps one possible explanation for this is many democrats are poverty stricken Americans. These Americans attended dismal public schools, have very high high school drop out rates, ex.ex.

But regardless the OP's conservative sources manipulated the survey results in a major way.
Maybe you guys should help us improve education by getting school vouchers and chatter schools as a basic choice to all parents so they can have the chance to send their kids to get a great education.

I do have an idea of what I'm talking about. You just keep on with your belief in a theory...while you slam on those who believe in a theory of religion. I think you should go back to biology class, clearly you weren't paying attention. Your entire post was nothing but crying and sniveling....you proved nothing.

Guess what, so is heliocentrism. So is gravity. Every scientific phenomenon is a theory. Why are you putting your faith in the theory that the earth revolves around the Sun? Even the Bible rejects that view.
Read the link. Derp. Gee, I wonder who I quoted. I WONDER.
