wow i wonder how many of those 6% are creation scientists? and only 9% consider themselves concervative. i am actually suprised that there is such a large margin.

That's total bull shit. Most engineers I know lean to the right, but I'm guessing we don't count as "scientists".

i think they mean people who went to college to become scientists such as biologists or chemists.

besides the "i know lots of people who arnt" isnt a good arguement.

Remember when scientists used to be respected public figures? And they made Hollywood movies about them? And we trusted what they said about something because they'd spent their whole life studying it?

Science has nothing to do with party or religion or ideology.

Science is science.

That's why they call it science.

 

[Skandalon]

Remember

all those creationists saying that the Earth is 6,000 years old and that the Grand Canyon was made by Noah's flood...


Consider themselves Republican scientists!

How do they define "scientist" in that study?

Is it someone employed as a scientist? Is it someone with an educational background in a hard science? That poll by itself is absolutely useless, and I am surprised you actually give it any credibility.

I find it interesting that 84% of scientists believe the government is the greatest source of funding for scientific research. Those that desire government funding or support tend to be liberals.

why do i give it credability? i dont. but it is a pew poll and they are respected and often cited by fox news and cnn and others. but i gave you the link so you read the article and tell me.

wait a second. you tell me i shouldnt give it credability and then you go and use it as a reference. dont you think that is being a bit hypocritical. either its credible or its not pick one and stick with it you flip flopper.

God, your ignorance knows no bounds.

1. The article never explains who the "scientists" were. Without that, it is impossible to know what we are looking at in terms of the numbers. Was it professors of hard science at universities? Well then of course they will tend more liberal.

2. For the sake of the discussion, I accepted the poll and read the article. I am not using it as a source for anything, I was simply noting that I found the numbers interesting.

more than 10,000 scientists were polled do you expect them to list every single type of scientist they were? i would think 10,000+ is a good test size.

and yes you did use the acticle as a source when you said "I find it interesting that 84% of scientists believe the government is the greatest source of funding for scientific research."

im sorry but did you see me ever in any post talk about the white man being the master race. just cause you dont like poll results doesnt mean i am wrong or a rascist. besides marvelistic is a concervative. you can tell by the way he hates logic and black people.

 

[Bert Notorius]

"Scientists" are usually life long students connected inextricably to the teat of higher learning. Try spending a lifetime in college and maintain any sense of reality.

Please learn to spell. You just look ignorant and it is hard to take you seriously when you consistently mispell "conservative".

I was willing to let it slide once or twice, believing it was simply a typo, but you consistently do it.

You think anyone should take you seriously when you can't spell a simple word like conservative? It was all over the article you posted and even in the graphic.

Spelling is not my strong suit, and neither is typing, but not even I am that bad.

I know of 1 Republican in my field. Is it any wonder the rest of us are constantly fixing his mistakes too? Six percent is enough...we can't handle any more plus do our work too.

The survey of opinions about the state of science and its impact on society was conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press in collaboration with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general scientific society. The survey of the general public was conducted on landlines and cell phones among 2,001 adults April 28-May 12; the online survey of scientists was conducted among a sample of 2,533 members of the AAAS from May 1-June 14.

The AAAS.

 

[Aviator1976]

The AAAS.

I was aware of the involvement of the AAAS...but it begs the question...

Were the "scientists" all AAAS members? Was any scientist outside the AAAS polled?
