Sorry Marty, but intellect has nothing to do with it! Without being unkind a person would have to be spectacularly dumb not to be able to assimilate a fact such as that.
What it indicates is a number of things, poor education, a culture of revelling in ignorance and society stamping on childrens natural curiosity about the world.
So I don't blame the number who don't know that the Earth revolves around the Sun but blame the situation that puts them in that position of ignorance.
