Galileo figaro-magnifico-

Via Steve Brady at Whatever:Kevin Drum says those numbers about what Americans believe about evolution, etc. (In a recent Gallup survey, only 35% of Americans said they believed evolution was "a scientific theory well-supported by evidence." The other 65% either disagreed or weren't sure) are not so bad, considering 25% of Americans think the sun goes around the Earth.

20% of Americans do not think that the center of the Earth is "very hot"

67% think the universe did not begin with a big explosion

Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-

47% think that humans did not evolve

I see a little silhouetto of a man,Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-

52% think that humans coexisted with dinosaurs.

Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-

46% think that it takes the Earth either a day or a month to go around the sun

Nothing really matters,Anyone can see,Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

(Not that I think the results would be much better in the U.K.)
