Simply Fucking Sad...Part 2
|
Yea, 13 for me. Should be a very easy test for anyone with a GCSE-level education in the sciences and all of this is covered pre-options (at age 13/14 when you pick which subjects you want to study).
I know that most respondents have been US citizens: I wonder how us Brits would stack up..?

I got 12/13. I won't lie though, I found some of those challenging, had to guess on a couple. But is an electron smaller than an atom? 47% answered correctly?! WTF!

I'm nerdy enough that I even remember that nitrogen makes up about 78% of the atmosphere. I got 13/13 and only one of them had me a bit worried.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
