MAGA hates science

Pharyngula 2025-03-14

It’s true: they literally hate science.

Warning, though: they will also lie to you. For example, look at Answers in Genesis, which claims to love science, while redefining it to include claims that the earth is 6,000 years old and that there was a world-wide flood 4,000 years ago. Expect to hear that True Science involves prayer, denial of evolution, and genes being rewritten by looking at sticks.

The more secular MAGAs are going to tell you that science requires you to believe in American exceptionalism, the inferiority of non-white humans, and that you must bow down to worship capitalism.

They don’t love science, they love their preconceptions.
