for someone of his class and wealth in his lack of curiosity about the world in which we live. But having grown up in an extremely religious, red area I would say that the percentage of conservative religious people who had a real curiosity about a broad range of subjects is less than 10%.

Even trying to engage them with "God created nature so we owe it to God to appreciate it through studying it" fell on deaf ears.
