Those quizes almost appear to be a joke. I mean who could ask this seriously?
4 football fields stacked? How do you stack a football field?

I'd understand asking that of atoms and molecules, but cells?

That reminds me of a joke. A tour guide at a museum took the group to a dinosaur and then told them that the dinosaur was ten million and five years old. A girl in the group looked puzzled and asked him, how do you know the age that exactly? The tour guide responded that when he first started working there five years ago, they said the dinosaur was ten million years old...

I'm almost positive this is a joke. The question is what is the half-life of Carbon-14, not Carbon-14 dating. Whoever wrote this is very funny or extremely illiterate in science.

Like anything an ID'er or YEC'er has come up with has been conclusive.

That's cladistics, Hovind-style. It proves clouds and watermelons are phylogenetically related. Likewise the chimpanzee's closest evolutionary relative is tobacco, since they each have 48 chromosomes.

There's nothing quite like a self-parodying creationist.]

<strong>This crap (and the bigotry) is the reason my Southern Baptist parents quit going to church and sent me to Catholic school. The Baptist schools had their science curriculum modeled on the above, unacceptable even for my religious parents.</strong>

Sad fact of the matter is that this is the view now being maintained by all mainstream fundamental Protestant religions today, thanks to the efforts of people like Philip Johnson, Chuck Colson, the ICR and all the other "growing" ministries in this country.

Several years ago [before coming to my senses of course] when we were enrolling our daughter in Kindergarten at a Baptist Christian Academy, part of the process was a tour of the library so that nosey parents could make sure there were no "silly" secular books in there. As I was in there, I overheard this snooty christian country-club couple asking the librarian if there were any "evolution" materials in there. The librarian chuckled and answered "No...of course not", to which Biff and Buffy snorted, "Hrrumph...the world is billions of years old and nonsense like that...HAAA!"

Actually...as I think back on it though ....this was one of many little events that began my deconversion process.


<strong>Suggested texts included "Are You Being Brainwashed" by our fav Dr. Dino Hovind. </strong>

Of course they are....that's why their parents enrolled them in a Christian School....to be brain-washed.

Maybe Christian planes have three dimensions. With God all things are possible.

Here I was thinking proteins were made up of amino acids. What a molecule supposed to refer to?

I imagine the answer is D and according to evil godless lying commie scumg evolutionists this means watermelons and clouds are related.

I know the right answer and the answer they want are different!

This would be funny if it weren't meant to be serious.

Isn't 6000 the more common claim of cretinists? why do they use 10000? Where did the extra 4000 come from? Did they get it from the same place as their science, out of their asses?

where's the link to this quiz? I can't find it on the page.

Look right below the heading, under "Classes". There are six wonderful pages of "Quizes".

This series of questions had me howling like a monkey:

WTF do they get the idea that any scientist has ever proposed a half man/half ape? Oh, I know, they've seen Hovind dragging his knuckles and scratching his brow ridge.

I guess #7 would be true. At least in one case (Newbraska man).

I guess the interent is a machine now! ROTFLMAO!
