7 is a theory, not established fact.

8 is dead wrong - they are CHROMOSOMES, not GENES that determine gender.

10 is clearly a slam against bible believing Christians. evolution has so many flaws and holes and faked crap and no transitional forms.

Or a lot of people are stumbling through life with an underpowered brain.

In my theory, the Hubble experiment only proves that the Universe is moving. Recycling itself. Eternally.

Well, they are saying that the center of the earth is hotter than the surface of the sun. They are also saying that the very center of the earth is solid.

We have 6500 miles deep of stuff that is up to 6000 degrees Celsius, and it’s covered up by 25 miles of crust? I’m buying thicker shoes.

Richard Dawkins is a filthy little anti-Christian bigot.

I happen to agree that there were complex moneys/apes/ humanoids, that left relics.

But humans in their present form?

No, that seems to be a whole completely unique branch of its own.

Neanderthals didn't become modern humans. They died out.

As far as the Big Bang THEORY, it's just that, a theory.

And as we learn more about the origins of the universe we discovered that we don't know squat.

For a long time the universe was supposedly 4 billion years old, then 6 billion, now it's up to 14.7 years old.

Truth be told NOBODY "knows" how old the universe is.

IMHO, it's way more than that.

ANYONE who claims to know the exact age is just guessing.

So the "correct" answers on some of these questions are NOT correct. They are guesses.

OK, well, there are lots of Christians who are also evolutionary biologists. Go see what they have to say.

I agree. #7 in particular. Yet to be proved.

I saw a “teacher” on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” unable to answer what the number one element in our air was.

He phoned his “science teacher” friend and they both agreed on Oxygen. I face palmed for them. My 8th grade science class in the old days taught us correctly that it’s Nitrogen.

State of public education these days.

Re Q#3: both the sun and the earth revolve about their mutual center-of-mass.

7. The universe began with a huge explosion. True or false?

Even if you accept the Big Bang as an established fact, the answer to this is still false. The Big Bang was an expansion, not an explosion.

Eggs Ackley. Space and time came into existence in the initial creation. An explosion has to have something (spacetime) into which expansion happens. Spacetime was created at the initial creation. It is interesting that Guth’s ‘inflationary period’ is not called an explosion ...

I can see where 2, 3, 7, and 10 would cause problems with the creationist community.

But speaking in all modesty, I aced it.
