You're right. George Washington probably didn't understand heavier than air flight, germ theory, nuclear physics, or evolution, and dammit, if it's good enough for the 18th century, it's good enough for us.
Stupid "scientists" with their precious "scientific method" and ridiculous "evidence" for their "theories." What good has any of that ever done this country?
True science has done a lot for this country - it’s the phony stuff that drives me crazy. Kind of like Al Gore’s “consensus” for global warming. True science does not require “consensus.” It stands on its own. For example, the scientific fact that water consists of two H atoms and one O atom orientated as a 109-degree polar bond requires no consensus. It is a fact, unanimously accepted. THAT is true science.
Let's see. The polio vaccine. Antibiotics. Electricity. Flight. Telephones. X-ray diagnosis. Radio and television. Plumbing. Air conditioning and central heating. Hybridized crops. Mechanized agriculture. Internal combustion engine. Computers. The Internet. Stupid "scientists." Preposterous scientific "method."
