Im really worried about how people, at least here in my country El Salvador are very hateful or attackers of science.
Here is my anectode:
I was receiving a launch from an institution that gives courses on reparing computers, I was eating with other 15 people, i kinda knew those people after spending 3 weeks in the course.
Some guy started a conversation saying that he was skeptic to religion, I added to the conversation saying that for me science should be suported and science is good for understanding the universe and for some people its a source of entertainment and help us to have a better life, and that i don't see how science should always be in fight with religion, Suddenly people started saying things like:
-Science is wrong and crazy
-Science is a religion for other people
-Science causes a lot of destruction
-Laws of Physics are useless and like dogmas
-Evolution is the most ignorant thing ever tought, about evolution people even started insulting and being very disrespectful
-I hate science and scientist are bad people and anti-social
-etc.
A guy even became violent and very very disrespectful, insulting and saying things like
are you a scientist?, you better shut up! bahh those scientist lie when they say that 2 bodies fall with the same acceleration, that's ignorant and stupid(sorry can i say this word in the forum) they can't even probe that, so you wana study physics, bahhh you ignorant that's useless.
The irony is that those people were preparing to repair computers which is a scientific and technological good.
I heard other people that hate science. I don't know how is the situation in other countries and how this goes for the future. Does science even have a future?, with global warming, energy crisis and other things, people blame science blindly, they say that causes the person to become bad and amoral and things like that.
What do you people think? Can something be made to defense science?
