you're all wrong, this guy has figured this out - the earth is stationary because if it would rotate, a plane would never get to China

Probably less than one percent. Slovakia has 10 years of compulsory education.

bronco67 · 02-19-2015, 12:34 PM

What would you like to bet that 90% of that 25% are very religious? Not saying religious people don't believe the earth revolves around the sun, but believing in fairy tales as historical fact is the trait of a stupid, uninformed person.

newB · 02-19-2015, 12:38 PM

I saw a youtube video (can't find it now) asking newly graduated college students to explain the cause for the phases of the moon. Almost all of them believed that it was due to the earth's shadow.

so you are just randomly guessing. I know this because USA has compulsory education also.

since we're guessing. I'd guess Slovakia is right where the other nations are

Every once in a while I go to Youtube and find videos to refresh my memory about very basic scientific facts.

I bet 90% of people from every country on this planet couldn't answer the question 'Why does the sun rise in the East and set in the West?'.

I suppose it is because of the Earth's rotation direction (around its own axis).

MiamiBoyz · 02-20-2015, 08:02 AM

Now if we used this information wisely and sterilized that 25% then we finally get human evolution back on track instead of backsliding into the gene pool of stupidity.

Do that for a few generations and things might improve.

Personally I would lump anyone who professes a belief in any sort of "god" as well and just get rid of that delusion once and for all as well.

There could yet be hope for the human race!

Robbie · 02-20-2015, 09:54 AM

I can take you to plenty of 'hoods where 100% of the people living there not only don't know any science, but will also cut your throat just for being in their "territory". lol

That "poll" should have been conducted with people who at least went to high school before they start babbling about the state of our education system. Young hoodlums who dropped out of school and are slinging crack can't be used as "proof" of anything except their own criminality.

We have no idea where ABC conducted that "poll".
Did they ask 1000 random people in the ghetto of Detroit? Or did they ask 1000 random people in Silicone Valley.
The results would vary greatly.

Usually these kind of studies have good coverage; as that is the whole point. It is supposed to cover every demographics. If your country is so fucked up that you have to hand pick people to get satisfactory results; it ain't the study's fault. This study wasn't about education system, it was about Americans science knowledge.

It's all according to what they wanted to show. The narrative they wanted to put out there.

Just like when NBC Dateline did that story about some pickup trucks exploding when they crashed. So the people at Dateline got some of those trucks and crashed them. But none of them exploded. So they took another one and rigged it up with explosives and blew it up on the show and said it showed how they exploded on contact. They later had to apologize for that.
Same when they edited the 911 call from Zimmerman in the Treyvon Martin case. They wanted to "prove" that Zimmerman was a racist. They had to apologize for that too.

What I'm saying is...I'm thinking that it's entirely possible that the guy doing that poll wanted to show that the American education system isn't teaching enough science. So he made sure to poll the "right" people to prove it.

If you really wanted to know if kids are learning science, then you would poll kids at high schools and ask them.
I doubt very seriously that there are very many high school seniors who believe the Sun rotates the Earth. lol

even more basic question would be "why does the earth revolve around the earth?"...
I doubt most in this thread would be able to answer a basic question like that if confronted about it on the street...

I don't know.. because of Earth's disparencies? Although that is not basic question.

of course it's basic... it's only 1 step past knowing that "earth revolves around the sun" (which really is just a useless fact people memorize when they are 5 years old)

... a natural obvious next question is "why"...
