100%, and I'm shocked only 7% get that right.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

According to that... easily yes.
Though I'm not sure how much I want to believe that study. Looking at the demographic breakdowns, to some of the questions some of the groups were worse than random.

I got the frackin' fracking one wrong! 
If I had thought about it for more than half a second, I knew it would have been natural gas, because it sometimes comes out of people's faucets like in that documentary.

Re: Do you Know more about Science than the Average American
I half-questioned some of my answers, but still got 100%. I find it hard to believe only 7% would get this correct, I think it may have been too small of a sample size.

I wasn't 100% sure on the Fracking question, but I reasoned it must be natural gas.

You scored better than 93% of the public and the same as 7%.

I know more about science than the average person in general. I'm sure the avergae American are a sub-set of that group
