                    Probably less than one percent. Slovakia has 10 years of compulsory education.

                      What would you like to bet that 90% of that 25% are very religious? Not saying religious people don't believe the earth revolves around the sun, but believing in fairy tales as historical fact is the trait of a stupid, uninformed person.

                        I saw a youtube video (can't find it now) asking newly graduated college students to explain the cause for the phases of the moon. Almost all of them believed that it was due to the earth's shadow.

                          so you are just randomly guessing. I know this because USA has compulsory education also.

                          since we're guessing. I'd guess Slovakia is right where the other nations are

                              It doesn't? I have perfectly good school book from middle age that says so. Very popular book.

                                          Just wrap some sheets around you, find direction to Mecca, kneel and say some mumbo jambo.

                                                  Easy; just don't care shit worth about anything else than BB, celebrities, and such. Reading too much Bible might do the job too.

                                                        Every once in a while I go to Youtube and find videos to refresh my memory about very basic scientific facts.

                                                        I bet 90% of people from every country on this planet couldn't answer the question 'Why does the sun rise in the East and set in the West?'.

                                                          I suppose it is because of the Earth's rotation direction (around its own axis).

                                                                                    Just like when NBC Dateline did that story about some pickup trucks exploding when they crashed. So the people at Dateline got some of those trucks and crashed them. But none of them exploded. So they took another one and rigged it up with explosives and blew it up on the show and said it showed how they exploded on contact. They later had to apologize for that.
                                                                                    Same when they edited the 911 call from Zimmerman in the Treyvon Martin case. They wanted to "prove" that Zimmerman was a racist. They had to apologize for that too.

                                                                                    What I'm saying is...I'm thinking that it's entirely possible that the guy doing that poll wanted to show that the American education system isn't teaching enough science. So he made sure to poll the "right" people to prove it.

                                                                                    If you really wanted to know if kids are learning science, then you would poll kids at high schools and ask them.

                                                                                          I bet 90% of people from every country on this planet couldn't answer the question 'Why does the sun rise in the East and set in the West?'.
                                                                                          even more basic question would be "why does the earth revolve around the earth?"...
