I think you are misunderstanding. We are exposed to scientific thinking in elementary school, and we learn the details about science and the scientific method in the 6th grade. SIXTH GRADE. You getting yelled at for not understanding science is the same as the person in another thread getting yelled at because his paragraph post is one fucking run on sentence.
There is just a basic level of education people are expected to come out of high school with. What we have today are millions of people in America with no understanding of science who always have something to say about it. Hence, it is natural for those of us who do to be irritable.
