[simonjedi]

not surprised about how low the answers are to the "anti-religious" questions tbh

(big bang and evolution ones)

 

[CptStern]

lol, the questions dealing with the big bang and evolution the US scored at the bottom of the list ..heh russia faired no better on the big bang ..which is odd because of russia's past specifically suppressing religious ideology

I'm willing to bet that if the US were just to round up all the religious crazies (bear with me for a sec) the medium IQ was drastically improve ..can you imagine BBC reporters going to say new york asking questions to average americans and every answer given is correct? I think the time has come to call out the religious in america and herd them into the sea ..for the good of america


nice find hazar

Russians are now very religious and Orthodox church is very conservative.

Interesting results, anwsers about human evolution in US are not that bad...

QFT

I have a very hard time to believe that 30% of all Americans or 35% of all Europeans think the sun orbits the earth.

Does anyone know on which age category these questions were asked?

I'm guessing just anyone that's an adult just by going by the sources at the bottom of the poll.
