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

Some of the questions on their so-called test give only partial information and are, therefore, subjective.

Only 53% of adults know how long it takes for the Earth to revolve around the Sun.

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.

Ahhh, the unquestionably ineffective public education system and it's work product in all it's glory.

We can now add scientific illiteracy to economic illiteracy, Constitutional illiteracy, historical illiteracy and literature illiteracy. Good times, good times.

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'd love to see this broken down by race.

We can only use race to prove victimization, though.

It's not politically correct to use it to prove stupidity.

THis has been posted before. Its a bogus poll. Onlt three questions — that’s a clue right there. So which ONE is the kicker?

This” “that the earliest humans and dinosaurs did not live at the same time.” The other two are science facts. This one is a science theory. And an especially controversial one right now.

Well, I guess I’d flunk, because I know dinosaurs and men did walk on the earth at the same time. Flame away.

I went to their website. Their questions are crap. The last few in the survey were about evolution. If you answered that you don’t believe in evolution, the institute’s explanations try to make you look stupid.

51% also think Zero can ‘fix’ the economy - so color me unsurprised.

I just read that only 22% of African-American basketball players and only 33% of the whole team at the university of Connecticut graduate.

Why are these ghetto teams even associated with an institute of learning much less one of higher learning.

American Adults Flunk Basic Science

This is why they're suckers for global warming propaganda.
