>>>"There is a very nice correlation between belief in Creationism, and denial of AGW."<<< I have noticed that but blame the politics of right and left more than religion. Creationists tend to be right wing so that has to have an impact. I would think Creationists would be all excited about the predictions of run away AGW is a sign of end times. I'm not sure that isn't going on but don't know. >>>"Kids who grow up being schooled to disbelieve science tend to be that way as adults, and vote accordingly. "<<< That would be true if kids coming from Fundamental Christian schools did not have high achievement on state exams. Since they do well, your comment is inapplicable except for schools where kids fail state science tests. So your comment is mostly myth. You are a good example of the students I am referring to. >>>If you can swallow one set of Alternate Facts despite overwhelming evidence against them, whats the problem with applying the same method elsewhere?<<< That is a good point. A lot has been said about Alternative Facts being non-facts. I haven't really followed this. There may be some that are false, I just don't know. I do know about group think, which is a process that results in people "going along" with bad ideas. I need to know more about this before I can fully support that comment. Can you give me a list of the Alternative Facts you are referring to?
