The survey, released on Friday at an annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, asked 2,200 people nine factual questions about physical and biological science, with the average score being just 5.8 correct answers.
The question – “Does the Earth go around the Sun, or does the Sun go around the Earth” – was answered incorrectly by 26 per cent of respondents.
Does anyone else taste the bitter-sweet irony? The party of science invests trillions in their public education experiment, demanding that every child be herded through their nationally directed, union dominated paddock, and 1 in 4 come out as ignorant flat-earthers who would have indicted Copernicus…if they had any kind of a clue what an indictment is.
