1 in 5 Americans believe Sun revolves around the Earth
There is a reason why people are fighting so hard to get creationism
taught in the public schools along side evolution as a scientific
alternative.
Americans, on top of not having a clue what a cell is or what
radiation is or even that the Earth revolves around the Sun are
letting religious leaders dictate to them what to vote on issues that
would take knowledge of basic scientific fundamentals, because I am
assuming that they are assuming that since these religious leaders are
supposedly moral and ethical "authorities" they should be qualified to
figure out where we stand on these scientific issues, but who is to
say that they even know these basic scientific concepts?
What a dangerous misstep.
Fact: Polls show that in general, people who adhere to fundamentalist
views are not well educated.

===>Indeed, it is both sad and frightening!
While India, Korea, Japan and China forge ahead with scientific
and technological progress, the population of the US is regressing
into the ignorance of the Dark Ages.
As the site also says:
"If you thought it was harmless electing a president that favors
teaching our young kids that God created man by molding a pile of sand
and blowing up its nose as science, well it appears as if it has come
back to bite you in the *****." -- L.
