I got 12/13. I only missed the atmosphere one, should have known it too, because we learned that last year. I was thinking of water, not air & put in hydrogen. Pretty sad that I got this when many people with college diplomas failed it.

I don't consider myself very scientifically literate and thought for sure I would embarrass myself compared to everyone else here. I got a 13/13.

The thing is that I know some intelligent peole that would probably get at least a few wrong on this test, but I don't think this is solely due to our education system. The American culture discourages this kind of knowledge and encourages us to know and care about trivial shit like who Kim Kardashian is fucking.

Anyone bragging they got all 13 correct sure has set a low standard for themselves.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Yet it seems that many people have answered far fewer.

Perhaps those people, particularly many of the religious who are utterly ignorant of science, should try to achieve the standard of those answering here.

You're very welcome. I actually have the complete DVD set, apart from the missing season two episodes. They don't like it up 'em, you know; they can't stand it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Yes, perfection is such a low standard.

You know he did. You know he took that quiz and got less than 10.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
