Science is humanity’s best tool for unmasking intellectual gullibility. Scientific literacy possesses the knowledge or intellectual toolkit needed to understand how and why science relates to public issues in any society. It is distinct from technological literacy. According to a recent research of Hazen and Trefil (2009), 93% of adults in the United States may not be scientifically literate, including 78% of college graduates and 74% of persons with graduate degrees. Outside the academic fields of their specializations, even renowned scientists can be scientifically illiterate. Unfortunately, scientific literacy is not a core topic for mass media or politics, despite its impact upon any society. Recently, in 20162017, the National Academy of Sciences in the United States has published salient reports about the need for and requirements of scientific literacy. Scientific literacy knows the basic concepts, theories, research findings, and implications or outcomes of physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and geology. For the purposes of this research, mathematics, complex systems science, computational science, and social sciences (plus network science) are included. The emphasis is on using knowledge, not creating it or doing science. Scientific literacy, at its best, leaves an indelible imprint for adventure, discovery, and wonder about the reality that engulfs all. This paper examines the vast research literature to dissect the status of scientific literacy among ethnic groups in the United States, probing the theoretical, methodological, policy-oriented, and practical implications of these results for the future of its social system and subsystems. Lastly, it proposes core elements of a tentative theory to explain scientific literacy. 1
