seeing as for some reason I enjoy reading about physics and chemistry, electronics and things like that can anyone offer some good reading material so I can gain even more insight into science and understand what people on the board are talking about??

If nothing else take the time to read the main site and Mike's Creationism vs Science page.

Not simple subjects, and you will not be able to master them right away,
unless you are quite smart. I would say, start off reading books that tie
into things you like. Such as The physis of Star Trek, or a similar book
based on whatever sci-fi you are into.

Well I never expected to instantly master this stuff I figured it would take a moderate amount of time. Bbout being smart I know i'm not Einstien level smart but im no dumbass.And thanks for the book recomendations I'll have to look for those after I get finished reading this big ass book I got at the library about Physics called: Physics The Easy way its about 600 some odd pages and seems kind of textbookish but I like it.

I did not mean to imply that you were lacking in the smarts department.
I just meant to say that like anything else, it will take some time to learn,
and it sounds like you are on the right track. Keep up the good work

It's called the 'popular science' section of your bookshop.
Now, if you'd asked for biology/geology books, I'd have been all 'read this book, read that book' but physics and chemistry have me stumped.
Stephen Hawking is an extremely good writer. If you don't want to tackle Brief History of Time try one of his essay collections.

*tries to look serious* Aristotle's Physics.

go down to barnes and noble, find their sciences section, stand in the middle of it, close your eyes, spin around, and pick the first book you see when you open your eyes.

Carl Sagan - if his popular science was as good as his science fiction, then yay!
