Why are Republicans anti-Science?

Palin against fruit fly research Fruit Flies have given us insight into genomes. Which in turn is in play in treatments to Alzheimer's and Autism for example.

McCain referenced the millions for a 'projector' that Obama supports. The 'projector' is a star projector which is used to educate future scienists, today's children, about the planets, stars, galaxies, and universe. It replaced a projector from the 60s, nearly 40 years old.

McCain supports the teaching of intelligent design. Palin well is part of a young earth religion who thinks the earth is less then 6,000 years old and men lived with dinosaurs.

Palin doesn't want to know about causes to Global Warming just fixes. Without identifying the source of problems it's near impossible to work on a preventative solution.

The largest example is abstience only education --- This is the right-wing thought that somehow by keeping people ignorant means they won't do the horizontal mambo.

Well, it worked for her family.
