Huntsman: Earth not flat; Christie: Sun does not revolve around Earth

Even if the Republicans have a larger number of people with science degree than the Democrats, I don't see how it disproves my statement in any way.

well, if the majority of real scientists reject the pro-science candidate, maybe the pro-science candidate is not very scientific in his/her thinking.

What are we calling a science degree now?  Any B.S./M.S degree?  Only those in certain fields?  Who exactly constitute the "scientists" group?

I'd say the min was a B.S. in a science degree (e.g. engineering, physics, biology, etc....political science is not what I consider a "science")

At many schools (not mine...I was awarded an A.B., econ was one of my majors) economics is a Batchelor of Science program.  But yeah fair.

Are we counting psychology...pre-med...the eventual MD...DDS...too?  Are we really going to give the same percentage weight to a dentist that we do an astrophysicist?

And are we then going to discriminate by the awarding institution?  Does a science degree from Liberty U really count as much (for this purpose) as one from Cal Tech?
