#26: American Beliefs
It’s no secret that belief in Bigfoot and other urban legends has been a part of American culture for generations, but it is kind of concerning to think that many people believe in Bigfoot and not in the Big Bang! I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next person, but this one is just mind-boggling.

But let’s not forget that science and mythology can coexist and that there is value in both. It is possible to support programs that promote science education and research while respecting all Americans’ beliefs and traditions. Just because Bigfoot might exist doesn’t mean that the Big Bang didn’t!
