This is why, after graduating from medical school, I not only want to become a practicing physician but a science advocate. It is abundantly clear (in cases such as the denial of evolution and climate change) that the general public is not willing to read scientific literature and is not willing to further their understanding of science, or more importantly, the process of science.

Hah, look at this guy, on the website, here.

Listen, "stacker", I have a bunch of sources worth multimillions (sometimes even multibillions) in USD that tell me what's what. Science has a well-known liberal bias, and if you think you can just institute a scientific discussion here, well, I'm not raising my white flag just yet.

All kidding aside, it's never that simple. Buncha people in every political situation around the globe think what they think, overwhelmingly, as a result of their native environments and external forcing. But wow, it's really sad when science gets politicized, just like every other facet of human technology. Ever. And yeah... hey, what is science, anyway?

I realize that it is not a simple task but I couldn't forgive myself if I didn't try. Of course I don't expect to change the world but maybe I can be an inspiration to someone who will.
