Nothing like a British newspaper to tell us what American Republicans are REALLY thinking.

You mean the scientific consensus that black intellect was inferior to whites in the 1880s or the
Eugenics movement in the 1930s or the
Population Bomb in the 1960s or the
Next Ice Age in the the 1970s or the
Man Made Global Warming in the 2000s?
Because popular fad scientific theories are fads not based in scientific fact.

There is a verse in the Bible "avoid opposition of science"
They take that and stretch it to mean Dinosaurs never existed.
We all know they did and it is a non issue. But Redpublicans will argue God never mentioned the T-Rex or Pizza therefore they do not exist.

People fear most what they are incapable of understanding. It scares me that these people don't see the importance of science and technology for their children. We're already having to import physicians and computer scientists. What kinds of jobs do these Republicans think their children will be able to do?

Republicans don't hate science. They value human life.
Don't confuse the debate about creationism vs evolution as a republican arguement. That issue is faith vs. science, not republican vs. democrat.
As for stem-cell research. Republicans argue that destroying a human embryo is destroying human life. Republicans argue that there are other ways to perform stem-cell research than to destroy a human embryo.
Democrats want to rile people up and make people believe republicans feel threatened by scientific facts.

Apparently they do not just want to kill fetuses to put in a lab for some scientist to work on, promising the cure to everything, with all kinds of money spent but absolutely no results. Put it this way, if Stem cells were really the cure to cancer, parkinsons,etc, then Amgen, Biogen, Johnson&Johnson, and other drug companies would work like crazy on it. Can you imagine the money they would make if they had the cure to cancer? Not to mention how much adoration and praise.

Why do liberals like Al Gore manufacture science "facts?"

They don't like the real world. They prefer what they learned in Sunday school.
