Texas, Louisiana, and Florida don't seem to be good places for young people to get an education in science from what I understand.
Religion (specifically Christianity) and science can coexist, but where the religiousity is too fundamental, science seems to suffer.
Edited by Deftil, : typed "Florida" twice, instead of "Texas"

Re: Floridas
Do you think that both Floridas are equally bad in this respect?
No, not at all. I think that Florida is probably much worse than Florida in this respect, but I think we can ALL agree that neither is as bad as Florida. I mean, seriously.

It seems to be to be rather a lack of ability to use, understand and appreciate logic. It's like logic and fundamentalism can't coexist, science has nothing to do with it.
If logic can't coexist with fundamentalism, then anything that involves the application of logic is going to suffer. Science involves the application of logic, so it suffers in the presence of fundamentalism. So just like I said, science suffers and you've helped to prove my point.
