Chuck wrote: OK, is the earth round or flat? Ask this to a sample of the "educated" population and you'll get nearly 100% answer: "round, of course!". Then ask them for the supporting evidence... Similar on whether the earth moves around the sun, vice versa, or neither.

Survey question: Does the Earth go around the Sun, or does the Sun go around the Earth?

30% of Americans surveyed got it wrong, according to this National Science Foundation report.

Anyone seen Natalie Angier's new book The Canon: A Whirligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of Science?
