They don't like science because they are dumb and weren't taught serious stuff at their "home schools" or their "religious schools". You need to be of average intelligence to grasp the basics of science to allow you to understand the modern world.
But not the inbred morons of the Republican party in the US. They're far below average. They are direct descendants - 2 or 3 generations removed - of illiterate ignorant European peasants and cow-herders whose occasional wearing of a tie doesn't necessarily make them modern or smart.
Hence, when bad things happen - pandemic, dangerous weather, etc. - they don't have the brains to comprehend what is happening. Plus, they're too lazy or drunk to make an effort at trying to understand. And they refuse to give credit to the scientists who make the discoveries because it would reduce their own control over their herd of morons.
They don't understand that their health is based on centuries of cumulative scientific discoveries in chemistry, physics, biology and medicine, culminating (between the 1950s and the early 2000s) in the genome project among other recent great discoveries. They don't understand that their fucking cell phones are the products of centuries of cumulative physics research by scientists leading to the physics and electronics revolution of the 1920s-1940s.
So what do they do? They come up with the easiest possible answer for the events around them: It's either magic, or it's religion, or it's a plot... something the stunted brains of their own simpleton communities of barbarian degenerate imbeciles, the MAGA herd, can use.
Just like they do not accept the fact that the world wasn't designed by a god. They'd rather believe in an unproven, never seen, highly fantasmagoric bearded old man, a sort of big zombie wandering the skies above, who created the world, rather than accept the less fantasmagoric but materially proven serendipity of evolution.
So, when floods killed more than 100 people in Texas over the weekend, the MAGA imbeciles could not accept that god would do such a thing. They could less accept that climate change did it because they don't like science and scientists. Instead, they concoct scenarios propelled by:
1- having watched - and taken literally - lots of stupid Hollywood movies and end-of-world fantasies. Instead of art imitating life, it is life that imitates art in the minds of millions of intellectually-brutalized American Trump voters.
2- having read and believed, and continue to read and believe, the emetic garbage of the torah-bible parchments that were written by goat-stinking nomads in the Arabian desert of the Bronze Age some 3,000 years ago.
Finally, in order to further cast doubt on the science behind climate change, they attack the scientists themselves, accusing them of foul play and deviant manipulations. Isn't that what Frankenstein's story is about? The scientist is by defnition a mad individual who wishes to harm people. Yet, they are the first ones to run to the doctor when they're stricken with cancer and other debilitating and fatal diseases.
For some reason, the vast majority of imbeciles propagating magical explanations for tragic catastrophic events come from the state of Georgia. I'd say it's a medley of religion, moonshining and inbreeding [See: https://lebanoniznogood.blogspot.com/2025/07/not-to-be-outdone-texas-beats-georgia.html].

‘Fake Weather, Fake Flooding’: Republicans Are Spreading A Bizarre Conspiracy Theory After The Deadly Texas Floods

As Texas recovers from one of its deadliest floods, some Republicans are spreading a conspiracy theory that suggests that weather manipulation is to blame for the deadly flash floods that have killed at least 89 people.
Republicans, including Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, have accused the scientific practice of being used to harm and kill, with Greene proposing a bill on Saturday that would make weather modification, also called cloud seeding, a felony.
“We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering,” she said one day after a storm dumped up to 12 inches of rain early Friday in parts of Kerr County, in central Texas, which is known for flash flooding.

Greene has previously suggested that weather manipulation has been used to harm Republican-majority areas in the south.
Fellow Republican and Congressional candidate Kandiss Taylor, who is vying for a seat alongside Greene in Georgia, also slammed the practice while directly blaming it for Texas’ incredible deaths and destruction.
“This isn’t just ‘climate change.’ It’s cloud seeding, geoengineering, & manipulation,” she posted on X, without supplying any supporting evidence. “If fake weather causes real tragedy, that’s murder.”
“Fake weather. Fake hurricanes. Fake flooding. Fake. Fake. Fake,” she added in another post.

Cloud seeding has been successfully used to create rain and snow in some parts of the country, but the process is only able to target small areas and with very limited effects, as one atmospheric research scientist, who has a cloud seeding program in Nevada, told HuffPost back in January. His explanation followed Greene at the time publicly encouraging scientists to manipulate the weather to extinguish wildfires over Southern California, saying: “They know how to do it.” (Read why scientists said it’s likely impossible here.)
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) denied that weather manipulation has played a role in the devastating floods when asked about the conspiracy theory on Monday.
“To the best of my knowledge, there is zero evidence of anything related to anything like weather modification. The internet can be a strange place. People can come up with all sorts of crazy theories,” he told reporters.

While Cruz said he hasn’t heard of weather manipulation playing a role, he said he has heard of flood victims being harassed and targeted online, including one parent whose daughter remains missing from the riverside Christian camp, Camp Mystic.
“There’s a lot of people who are messed up and my call to everyone: There’s a time to have political fights, there’s a time to disagree, this is not the time,” he said.
Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice also said Monday that local help hotlines have received “fake calls” from scammers reaching out to the families of the children missing, saying, “We have your kids, pay me money.”
“It’s absolutely heartbreaking,” Rice said.
