Because if you're smarter, then you understand more about the causes and effects of your actions.

But scientific knowledge does not necessarily always imply intelligence. A stupid person can enjoy science, and likewise, an intelligence person can hate science.

This thread is about scientific literacy, not just scientific interest.

Anyone can learn something if they try hard enough. Being stupid doesn't preclude someone from applying themselves.

There's no universally agreed upon definition of intelligence, but if you look at the definitions, you'll notice that the capacity to gain knowledge is in there. So no, "anyone can learn something if they try hard enough" is not true. You can apply yourself all you want, you can't understand something that your brain can't process.
