I was stunned to read this! What are they NOT teaching in schools these days?

The article is at New Survey: 1 in 4 Americans Believe the Sun Revolves Around the Earth - ImaGeo | DiscoverMagazine.com with a link to the actual survey @ 1 In 4 Americans Thinks The Sun Goes Around The Earth, Survey Says : The Two-Way : NPR

And now we await the leftist apologists to jump in and claim the survey is flawed.

Yeah, heliocentrism is just a theory.

TEACH THE CONTROVERSY!!!

Maybe this 25% are actually the bright ones. After all, the relationship between the sun and the earth has two foci. It's just that, the sun being some 1.3 million times bigger, it appears fixed in space.

New Survey: 1 in 4 Americans Believe the Sun Revolves Around the Earth

Absolutely BULLSHIT statistic.​

Doubt me?

Use your common sense.

How many people do you personally know who believe this?

I'm guessing every one of us would answer ZERO.

But if that STAT were true?

We would all know hundreds of people who believe this shit.

Maybe they are just less vocal about it. You might try asking a young earth creationist about it some time *shrugs*

Sure, I see this being true, maybe if the survey participants were 5 years-old and under and previously taught jargon! What kind of survey is this? I have to pretty much second editec here.
