Science is what made us great

Science deniers will turn us into a backwater:

Here is an alternative URL for that video

which is unlike the one you gave, in that it does not require one to sign up to
Facebook, notorious for breaches of user privacy, to view it.

Dear oh dear, you have a video that flirts between engineering achievements and terrestrial sciences under the umbrella of 'science' as though a capacity for the former equates to competence in the latter.

Considering that neither anyone here nor the celebrities can express the basic facts surrounding a round and rotating Earth, the street lingo of denial is about as classy as I would expect these nuisances to be.

Does fiction inform fact ?, in that case the pitiable whining about 'science denial' is merely the tolerance and limits academics who got badly burned by going beyond the leash wider society afforded them. Want a real fictional overview ?, didn't think so but here it is anyway -

Papers, please. Did you get White House approval to post that
subversive link?

Believing in true, proven science doesn't mean believing in every knee-jerk crackpot theory poorly-support by and evidence. Also, don't invest too much intellectual capital in a group who have a notoriously poor track-record for past predictions based on shaky science.

Engineers and scientist are some of the best people God has created. The vast majority of them want nothing but the best for all mankind.

Science and engineering has historically made America a world leader.

Unfortunately it appears too many Republicans either want to:

- profit from carbon fuels at the expense of new and advanced technologies, and/or

- turn the country into a Theocracy where science is viewed as wrong and in opposition to their religious beliefs.

Either way the GOP is heck bent on transferring scientific leadership to other countries.

An aptitude for self-promotion as an individual or as a group can't constitute an interest in astronomy or terrestrial sciences and I have only seen small glimpses of inspiration from contributors here as most seem to be in love with their own words or others with social/ political concerns.

All Americans should be embarrassed that we've degenerated to the
point where it's necessary for somebody to make a video like this, to
say these things.
