NY Times (4/21/94) National edition includes an article titled "Science I.Q. of Americans Is Not O.K., Survey Shows" on p.A7. The article reports the results of a survey conducted by Louis Harris and Associates and the American Museum of Natural History that revealed only 21% of the 1225 adults questioned scored 60% or better on the test which covered basic scientific knowledge. Related to Museum-L's thread on creationism and science bashing, less than 50% of the respondents gave the correct answer to a question about humans evolving from earlier species and notes "the survey did not address whether religious beliefs might have affected the result." [to this particular question.] Interesting reading - does anyone know if the survey results will be available in published form or how to obtain copies?
