These are the same people that the morons in the “media” are always asking if THEY THINK “global warming” really exists.

You mean American Adults?
but I bet they can name all the contestants on American Idol
>>but I bet they can name all the contestants on American Idol
Sadly probably true
I’d do better on the science questions than on questions about American Idle.
Some of the questions on their so-called test give only partial information and are, therefore, subjective.

Such as?
Trick question. The Sun and the planets and the stars are revolve around Earth.
# Only 59% of adults know that the earliest humans and dinosaurs did not live at the same time.
As if! Everyone knows that the dinosaurs never actually existed. God put their bones into the ground for us to find.
# Only 47% of adults can roughly approximate the percent of the Earth's surface that is covered with water.*
Okay, those other 53% are a bunch of doofuses.
Doofi.
We can now add scientific illiteracy to economic illiteracy, Constitutional illiteracy, historical illiteracy and literature illiteracy. Good times, good times.
I was gonna wag my finger at you until you corrected yourself on that one!
>Only 53% of adults know how long it takes for the Earth to revolve around the Sun
Um, 1 year?
Evolution.
>>Evolution.
Which question asked about Evolution at all, much less gave partial information about it?
Shhhh — don’t give it away
Funny, It all depends on the level of precision.
A person might say that there are 365 days in a year but they would be wrong 1 in 4 years as a leap year has 366 days.
As for dino and human ... if my time window was a billion years ... then yes they would have lived together.
And as for the percent of water, does the precision need to take into account only oceans and seas, or do I also need to account for ice, snow and temperate surface water?
I haven’t been following it this time around, but I know Obama WON the last one.
Sciencedaily.com has their little test which asks questions about evolution.
We can only use race to prove victimization, though.
It's not politically correct to use it to prove stupidity.
