I quote Dr. Isaac Asimov from Newsweek, 21 January 1980
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has
been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread
winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false
notion that democracy means that
'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge'."
Redefining science to fit into someone's religious dogma is just a small
part of this.
