Are you scientifically litterate?

I got 30 out of 50 right and thought I did pretty good. ;)

 

[reba]

NO! 22 right dumb test

 

[Pizzaguy]

Even on my science-based board, scores are no higher than 40. Not an easy test.

I got a 28. I hastily clicked on a couple of wrong answers I should have known. But I also had to go against traditional Christian beliefs on a couple also. ;)

 

[ChristianNationalist]

ugh, 34. I made a couple of stupid mistakes but I guess the fact that I used my knowledge of mythology instead of science for a couple of them makes up for it.

 

[Former Christian]

Don't how exactly, but I managed to get 36 out of 50 right. I must be real good at guessing.

39. some guessing was involved.

I sure am.
Job says God hung the earth on nothing? David say that God spoke & that it stood fast? And God created Adam on day 6?

So how old was Earth + stars & moon when man takes a piece of rock to carbon date? + Adam at Their creation of him?;)

As one post remarked, they knew what the poll's answer was, yet it violated their Bible belief.

Well it says I got a 39, but I know I got a 40 because one of their answers was wrong. It said something like "about how old is the earth", and as everyone knows the Earth is much closer to 6000 years old than the millions of years that they said.

Haha that's great!

No matter how you slice it, the earth DOES hang on nothing. I mean, it hangs on gravitational forces in it's dance with the sun.... but that is a FORCE, not an object or structure... do it does, indeed, hang on nothing.

Well, it is a SCIENCE test, not a Bible test. :yes

What a fun test! Thank you for providing the link to a few minutes of testing although it did remind me a wee bit of the SAT I took quite a few years ago.

On a few questions that posed uncertainty, I found that if I used the very scientific guessing method of "Eeny, meeny, my-knee, :yes moe", I was able to add a few extra correct answers to my score. I had to laugh, tho ... my ultra-scientific method achieved a score that, while not perfect, was very close to it.

I got a 39 with a bs in chemical eng and working on a ms in EE that is an embarrassing score lol

I misread some of the Questions I should have known better... the DNA RNA one I put Uracil because I didn't pay attention I knew Uracil Swaps out Thymine. but it wanted T not U
I also messed up the Organic element question because I was thinking of Amino-Acids and I forgot that hydrocarbons are also organic.

and I forgot my natural logarithms Yvette would slap me.

Well, I got into a few questions & perhaps it was my slow 'hughes.net' thing? (better than dial up) but my patience ran 'litterate'?;)
I think this one is for youth?

By the way, we pray that everything turns out well for you.

Ahhh... I scored 28. I suppose that's kind've embarrassing for a post-graduate university student. :p

DC: Don't worry; plenty of graduates find arithmetic hard, for example, if they are not from a numerate discipline; plenty of lawyers die without making a will (!); plenty of politicians working on the economy don't have a grasp of economics (as opposed to politics...).

Ahh, that's true, eh? It's a funny old world. I'm a waste manager, so, give me a waste management quiz and I'll... actually, don't give me a waste management quiz, I'll probably fail at that too! Then I'd have to banish myself to the top of a mountain and live as a hermit for the rest of my days. :nod

Shouldn't matter really (unless you graduated in a science) consider that at the weekly pub quiz I'm next to useless, despite also begin a university graduate. They only ever ask questions about UK music in the 60's 70's and 80's Or hollywood actors/films they make up the bulk of such questions.

In my element/s I'm basically peerless but my elements are severely limiting (Kinda like a shark)
