Good question. It's just hard to fathom that ANYBODY would think that the Sun revolves around the Earth in this day and age. It isn't like television hasn't been around for decades. Dumb people watch t.v. so they would know at least that much about the Earth and Sun.

And for the younger generation, the internet has been around for a couple of decades and again...they would know.

Either way, it's NOT "he state of science education" as the ABC article said.
If you poll people who have no education (dropped out of school), then you are going to get skewed answers and since they didn't finish school you can't make a judgement about the quality of education.

See what I mean?

It would be like someone asking you or I how to build a nuclear reactor.
Well, I've never had the training to know how to do that.
So for the person asking me that to say that it reflects on the "state of education regarding nuclear science" would be preposterous.

As I said, I would imagine that if you REALLY wanted to know how the "state of science education" is in the U.S. (or any other country)...you would poll current high school students or at the very least...people who completed high school.

Remember, the article didn't say it reflected on PEOPLE in general. It specifically said it was reflecting on the "state of science education".
