I can believe it.

I would say more like 51% are idiots!
Ha! I forgot about this one! I listened to one of its members on CoasttoCoast years ago.

The guy had me going for a while. I really, really believed it.
Makes you want to put 'em on a boat and tell them to sail to the "edge" and report back.

What's even funnier is that a large percentage of Americans would laugh at those who think the sun orbits the earth, yet they themselves believe all the nonsense in the bible (some dude named Moses spoke to a burning bush, parted the Red Sea, etc., etc., etc.).

But what if the Earth doesn't revolve around the sun, it's all theory from what we observe from inside this bubble, to say they are idiots is like saying someone got the manuscript to the secrets of this world and know for sure
