51% of Democrats do not know that the Earth goes around the Sun, once a year! (independent, speech)

If one doesn't state the margin of error, that leads me to believe it is a high number and it also makes me question how this poll was conducted.

What's your point? There is a difference between theory and fact.

Yeah, they are spelled differently.

Interesting how one could believe the earth spins around the sun, but not believe in evolution.

I'm sure that has everything to do with politics.

That's odd, you just make random assumptions about things if you don't have the data? You could be a climate scientist!

Interesting, I conducted a poll that said 73% thought this poll was false.

You don't believe that the earth spins around the sun? It's observable and repeatable...you know, the basics for science.

Evolution is a theory. You are putting faith in to a theory...you know, just like religious people.

Here, have some education:

In the biological sciences, evolution is a scientific theory that explains the emergence of new varieties of living things in the past and in the present; it is not a "theory of origins" about how life began.

We seem to have overlooked that 38% of Republicans also failed to answer the questions about the earth and sun correctly. Not much to be proud of there either.
