Conspiracy vs. Science: A Survey of U.S. Public Beliefs

In this brief, author Lawrence Hamilton reports the results of a nationwide U.S. survey that asked respondents whether they agreed, disagreed, or were unsure about a series of statements that mixed pseudo-science conspiracy claims with well-established scientific facts.

Notice that even 80% of Trump supporters are sure the world is round. Which is very encouraging.

I only have one semester of college and of course I know the earth is round, because it is. To think otherwise is just foolish.

Also, I support Harris.

Ruth was taught wrong.

In modern times, in what they call pre-school.
One of the very first things, on the very first day, that the teacher will be instructed to do is have the class see and touch a globe.

Did you attend pre-school? Do you remember seeing and touching a globe on the first day? I do.

Yes, but I soon learn't how deceptive it was.

Not in pre-school, no. I didn't attend pre-school. I don't remember seeing a globe in infants school either (5-7 years old). I seem to remember seeing one in junior school (7-11 years old), but as it fitted with actual observation, I don't think it was to beguile or deceive. For example when I was 8, my parents took me and my two brothers on holiday to the Netherlands. We sailed there. We couldn't see the Netherlands from England, but as we got closer, we could see it, exactly as one would expect on a globe.

Thanks for contributing ozso but what i'm trying to find out is why were our parents generation taught that the earth was flat and yet our generation was taught that the earth was round.

What happened during that short space of time for the Gov to change it's view to now teach round earth.

With what I have so far , it doesn't appear to show any cult , maybe just odd ball teachers , I don't know.
Will wait for further results.

Well what if the results show that the majority of the people asked said they learnt flat earth in school , wouldn't you be curious , wouldn't you want to know why?

There is one teacher, who does not lie, ever.

Man lies every day - it is taught to them, and practically (they say) required of them to lie even after they learn it is a lie.
