Reply #47: Conservatives are right! Science education makes you liberal!

Proof positive that there is a science-community kabal that creates evidence for Global Warming and Evilution. More reason not to send your kids to secular colleges, and to try to get the Bible and prayer back into the high schools! Hell, get rid of the public schools altogether so churches and families can teach their kids more about the Bible.

But seriously, I have a question. I skimmed the Pew report and I can't figure out what's considered a "scientist". Are we talking exclusively physics/chemistry/biology and sub-categories like medical fields? Are professions in the social sciences considered scientists? What about economists, which are sort of just a kind of social science when you think about it.
