Please tell me it's not screenshot compatible, because that's the ugliest freaking mess of a horrid GUI editor that I've encountered. Otherwise, no wonder I've seen so many Windows devs with multiple huge monitors: they'd need them to be able to see a useful amount of code at one time. Seriously, those screenshots dedicate, what, 20% of the window to actual content?

Having one of the most successful authors of the late 20th, early 21st century as a spouse probably doesn't hurt either. Unless he's really really large, in which case having Neil as a husband could hurt. Wouldn't know really.

One part of scientific literacy, which is not taught, is that a study is not a fact. Reporting results in a newspaper is not relevant. In most case one is going to look at methods to understand how something is being approached, and then take the result with a huge grain of salt. For instance, many people laugh at studies that say wine is good for you, wine is bad for you, etc. It is funny if one does not have the context of the study, or understand that science is there to explore reality, not just come up with simple facts. Some studies are flat wrong, some have subtle errors, some are valid but irrelevant. For example, if in this case science literacy was measured only by known fact and not by context, then, IMHO, the study had a huge flaw in it. In fact such a systematic error could be misinterpreted as cultural bias. Some cultures are more prone to focus on simple facts rather than explorations. Those that favor de facto facts will of course be less likely to acknowledge that human activity can influence the climate.

To expand on this, science does not have two sides. It has many researchers working to explore reality. The only question is was the study valid, or did it have materially significant systematic or large random errors that were not properly dealt with. In many cases, results are reported with no one looking at validity. In the case of climate change, we are at a point where valid studies are increasing pointing to a consensus conclusion. One defense of the popular media who wants to disprove the media is to include old or invalid studies, but science is not politics. I cannot make up facts that suite my needs. I cannot say that the sun is fission reaction. No matter how many people say so, not matter how many studies say it is the case, it is simply not what the models show.

So, again, scientific literacy is not just knowing fact from high school, or even the extremely simplified and incorrect scientific process that is often taught. It is a complex situation that is only going to change when the political powers no longer need to believe a particular point of view.

Strange to me that I do not recall writing this, but it's an almost perfect description of my upbringing and later re-evaluation.

I assure you you're not alone in your experience.

The religion fanatics don't want evolution taught because that ultimately is what causes scientific revolutions. Students being taught the very orderly and reasonable method that we get from the evidence to the theory. It is notable that after 150 years we are still discussing this as something that is optional. It is also notable that few are going to say that evolution is not a nature in process, only that humans did not involve. I think this is important to note because it shows that many religious fanatics do not actually have enough faith to cause themselves actual pain, and this is the problem. Lack of faith. Most are not going to argue that antibiotics are causing super germs to evolve, just look at the number of allegedly christian households that use hand sanitizer. In spite of this evidence and this cave to the secular world, they do not have enough faith to accept that bible is written by fallible men with original sin and has only a cursory relationship to the almighty.

If science class taught science and churches actually promoted faith and not greed,there would be no problem. For instance, look at Quantum mechanics. 50 years ago RIchard Feynman stated that no one understood quantum mechanics, and he was right. But then we were taught his form of quantum mechanics, with the equivalence of the popular forms, and the diagrams, and it was much less mysterious. On the other hand, I was not taught general relativity, so I am very suspicious of black holes and really think they were made up to give hollywood something to make movies about. Fortunately, I was taught that my place in the universe is to worship and not to try to place my arbitrary beliefs on a creation that will always, to some degree, a mystery so neither of things affect my faith.

He was a user-interaction genius, not necessarily a technical genius. He knew what people would want without them first knowing they wanted it.

I think you might be a bit paranoid.
