In the US both evolution and global warming are fields where politicians and
religious leaders are not engaging in critical thinking. (see the latest
PEW survey) They are ignoring the professionals in science and using common
everyday thinking which is often not critical.
... Another example of not using
critical thinking is how many parents have declined to have their children
vaccinated, thereby exposing all of us to diseases which should have zero
incidence in the US. The falsified data on vaccines and autism was refuted,
but these people do not bother to look up good sources of information and
instead are relying on passed around urban legends.
