Astrology has no basis in science whatsoever, yet half of our countrymen here in America believe it is either “very scientific” or “sort of scientific.” On top of that, a quarter of Americans don’t know that Earth orbits the Sun. Research conducted by the National Science Foundation uncovered those truths and more: less than half knew that humans evolved from other species, and less than a third believed science should get more governmental funding. Hooray! Read the depressing study in its entirety here.
