Did you know that 25% of American adults tell people taking polls that the sun circles the earth once a day?

That is just ignorance. That can easily be fixed with a little education. However, denying it even after being shown evidence to the contrary is something else.

That being the case should we be surprised by creationists, young earth enthusiasts, and those who choose to ignore climate change?

There is a great deal of denial about just how ignorant are the people from the bottom of the gene pool.

This ignorance certainly explains the continued popularity of religious belief, doesn't it? Sheer stupidity running rampant!

It is the religious want to believe Earth is at the center and sun orbits around it.

Yes: I had heard that.
