Do you think the public understanding of Science is getting better or worse?

Until today we see horoscopes being published on the newspapers and magazines even it has been debunked for like 300 years back.

We have creationist fighting all over USA to allow schools to teach creationism aka intelligent design alongside evolution.

We still have billions of people on Earth who still thinks the world was created 6000 years ago and claims carbon dating is wrong even when science have more than 1 way/method to determine the age of something.

We have people attacking science just to protect their beliefs. People giving up rationality and reasoning because of religion.

The $1million dollar reward of James Randi which is offered to anyone who can demonstrate a paranormal effect under proper scientific control  is safe until today and yet people still continue to believe in telekinesis, homeopathy, fengsui, faith healing, dowsers and many more.

Is there anyway to make these people to embrace logic and reason again to actually contribute to humanity trough science?

LOGIC is only one set of thinking and resoning methodology.. it is not the absolute
