What Do Americans Know about Science and Technology?
The National Science Foundation makes a semi-annual survey of what Americans know about science and technology. The 2018 assessment gives the results of surveys made in 2016 and shows that when given statements to be answered true or false:
- 52% agreed that humans evolved from other species of animals, though 72% agreed that the altered statement that the theory of evolution held that humans evolved from other species of animals was true. Apparently, 20% preferred their religious beliefs.
- 39% agreed that the universe began with a big explosion. When that statement was altered to say that astronomers believe the universe began with a big explosion, 60% agreed that astronomers did believe that. The 21% difference here is again mostly a preference for a religious belief.
- 48% agreed that electrons are smaller than atoms.
- 45% disagreed that lasers work by focusing sound waves.
- 51% disagreed that antibiotics kill viruses as well as bacteria.
