I bet 50 years after Galileo, 40% of Europe still believed that the sun orbited the earth. Funny the church was on the wrong side of that one too. At least some of the kids are willing to think it through for themselves:
nearly two-thirds (63%)of Gen Nexters believe humans and other living things evolved over [...]
