eightballmagazine.com — For the democratic process to run properly it necessitates the voter to have some knowledge of what he is voting on. Sadly, that isn’t how many American vote, as is obvious when during an election year people are talking about whether or not someone “looks presidential” and whether the person looks “likeable”.

That's how we solve our problems now? We insult people instead of doing something about it?

Fact: Polls show that in general, people who adhere to fundamentalist views are not well educated.Exhibit A: George W Bush.

hmm.. maybe you're new here. Digg is full of uneducated liberal teenagers who are either unemployed or make near minimum wage... so you're going to run into the complaining/insulting without offering solutions a lot. enjoy your stay!

"1 in 5 Americans believe Sun revolves around the Earth." While you're all enjoying your intellectual superiority over the 20% of the population that doesn't give a s**t about astronomy (congrats! You're in at least the 21st percentile, only one standard deviation below the mean!), this 20% is at least technically correct. The sun and earth revolve around each other.

"Hello, a molecule is a very big part of us, and that is H2O". You do know there is more than one molecule? Right? Maybe I am wrong, with my inferior American education and all.

So there are no creationists in other countries? Holding an opinion that doesn't happen to be scientifically correct doesn't make you stupider. I don't agree whole heartedly with evolution, but that does not mean I know nothing about it, and on a survey I would respond that I am a creationist.

I would like to see the question exactly as it was asked. There is obviously shenanigans going on here, they probably asked " Is the Sun stationary, while the earth revolves around it? At least 1/5 would know that the sun certainly is not stationary.
