@comrade_Comrade It is a pretty strange disconnect. I know next to nothing on heritability, but I would think that there are too many confounding factors for a definitive experiment to take place. Is this the case?
Another one is the existence of the truly bizarre young earth creationism -- or the idea that the universe and everything in it is somehow only ~6,000 years old because the Bible says so. We have trees older than that. And yet it is quite popular in much of the rural and southern USA. The idea that God created the science of the universe for us or some other intelligent species elsewhere to discover, and that a "day" to God could count for millions or even billions of years, isn't nearly as far fetched to me.
