Genuine lack of basic knowledge of science is closely associated with widespread belief in [[astrology]], [[homeopathy]], and various other aspects of [[New age]] and [[paranormal]] nonsense. It is also associated with belief in politicized, junk science environmental ideas such as the "threat" of [[manmade global warming]], the "need" for [[asbestos removal]], the "danger" of [[secondhand smoke]], and the "hazard" of using [[DDT]] as an insecticide.
