To steer this back to the earlier issue, science is an effort to
understand the nature of things in order to provide working tools.
Engineering takes those tools and creates those things that support our
society and by extension our economy. So, a president that has no
understanding of science, or worse, can't tell the difference between
science and religion will only do further harm to this country than the
current anti-intellectual and his faithful followers have done. Any
candidate that claims that they can maintain anti-scientific beliefs (such
as they're not being a primate), yet can turn the downward trend in this
country around is simply lying to us.

Well put.

Good luck finding anyone amongst the current set of presidential candidates
who passes this litmus test while also offering a workable political
platform. My preliminary research shows that this candidate does not yet
exist.
