1 in 4 Americans unaware that Earth circles Sun, Obama voters no doubt, and believers in Global warming

Why do we spend billions on the U.S. dept of Education again?

There’s a reason progressives are in control of the public school system.  This is an example of kind of citizenry progressives want—uninformed at all levels.  

Yahoo Newsreports Americans are enthusiastic about the promise of science but lack basic knowledge of it, with one in four unaware that the Earth revolves around the Sun, said a poll out Friday.

The survey included more than 2,200 people in the United States and was conducted by the National Science Foundation.

Nine questions about physical and biological science were on the quiz, and the average score -- 6.5 correct -- was barely a passing grade.

Just 74 percent of respondents knew that the Earth revolved around the Sun, according to the results released at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Chicago.

Fewer than half (48 percent) knew that human beings evolved from earlier species of animals.

The result of the survey, which is conducted every two years, will be included in a National Science Foundation report to President Barack Obama and US lawmakers.
