Probably that same 26% who have been abducted by aliens and were given a tour of the solar system in a flying saucer.

There needs to be intelligence tests for voting. Idiots, imbeciles, and morons should not be able to take part in answering the important questions that are put before voters.

It revolves/orbits around the Sun. It rotates about its axis.

Twenty-six percent of U.S. respondents do not realize Earth revolves around the sun, Stupid people are more easily programmable by libtards, and are more likely to end up being parasites who can't survive without big government santa claus to take care of them.

Twenty-six percent of U.S. respondents do not realize Earth revolves around the sun, a survey by the National Science Foundation indicated.Isn't that exactly the same percentage of legal voters who would vote for Obama again, no matter what?

I’m pretty sure it all depends on your point of reference. If you take it that the stationary point is the center of gravity of earth’s solar system, I believe you are correct. However, if you use the earth’s center of gravity as your reference, then everything changes. Its all relative...

Okay I’ve been lazy. I know the difference between its and it’s, but my smartphone is too stupid to insert the apostrophe when needed.
I applaud you for your attention to the English language. Should you ever confuse “fewer” and “less”, I will be sure to let you know

Another reason to homeschool your kids. Public school is Child Abuse on the part of the school system and on the part of the parents who send their children to public school.
