Religion vs. Science: Take the surveys

[BIV]

Science: http://www.pewresearch.org/quiz/science-knowledge/

Religion: http://features.pewforum.org/quiz/us-religious-knowledge/

Science, 11/13...both my mistakes are stupid. I knew them but brain farted.

Religion: 12/15...One of my mistakes were stupid, one I'm okay with, the third I don't know how any normal person would get.

BUT WHAT DOES THE Y-AXIS REPRESENT?!?

 

[Von Maestro]

12/13 Science & 14/15 Religion. A lot of the "Religion" is more History knowledge than Religious knowledge though.

 

[Neon]

Science - 13/13

Religion - 14/15. The one I didn't get is probably the one you are talking about, BIV.

 

[Party Rooster]

Science 13/13
Religion 9/15

Oof. I blew some easy ones, but always thought the Sabbath was...

Spoiler

Saturday, because it's Sabado in Spanish.

 

[JoeyDVDZ]

I got 13 of 13 in science, 12 of 15 in religion. I can live with those results.

12/13 Science & 14/15 Religion. A lot of the "Religion" is more mythology knowledge than Religious knowledge though.

Fixed.

Last question, right?

And yet you can't figger out how to open a goddamned safe in over two years. Bullshit.

What can I say, I know science, but not safecracking.

 

[Von Maestro]

Fixed.

Wow, someone's bitter about his 9 in Religion...

 

[somnarium]

13/13 on science.
12/15 on religion which surprised me since I only felt like I got 8 or so right.

 

[LineBackerU]

Science = 13/13

Religion = 14/15 (Got the last question wrong)

 

[NoSurviivors]

Safe cracking isn't a a science. It's an art

 

[Absolutely]

You answered 10 of 13 questions correctly. (Shocked)
You answered 11 out of 15 questions correctly (Thought I might do better)

 

[Neon]

Last question, right?

I knew it wasn't Billy Graham so it was a coin toss.

 

[DeltaPin]

13/13 Science
12/15 Religion

 

[whiskeyguy]

Science 12/13

Religion 9/15.

Kind of rushed through both. I'm sure if I stopped and actually thought about the religion questions more I would have done a little better.

 

[CM Mark]

11/13 on science
14/15 on religion (not the last one, I got that one right)

Which is the better way to determine whether a new drug is effective in treating a disease? If a scientist has a group of 1,000 volunteers with the disease to study, should she...

Have you ever noticed that "SHE" is the pronoun used in PC circles when we're talking about a positive position, and I'm sure if the pronoun could denote race it would be black.
Interestingly enough, if we were talking about a criminal of some sort the pronoun would certainly be "HE"
Whatever, I just find that to be a fascinating curiosity.

Anyway 13/13 on the science, bitches, but you all knew that anyway.

14/15 on the Hocus Pocus

Which one of these preachers participated in the period of religious activity known as the First Great Awakening?

Seriously, who the fuck knew this one?

Missed the final round of getting on Ben Stein's money in part because of the religious questions. Always been my Zeus's heel.

Personally I don't understand why "they" can't be used when talking about a hypothetical situation, but every English class I took frowned on that.

Yup and I went with Finney because it sounded a tiny bit more like one of those oldey time names that might have died out.

and 13/13 --- 11/15. Can't believe I got both the schoolteacher ones right.

Technically "they" is correct, but I guess it just doesn't sound right. So the new rule is if it's a lawyer, judge, doctor, scientist (especially a groundbreaking theoretical physicist), the pronoun is SHE. For example: Dr Harold White is working on the first experiments to bend space-time for FTL travel, but she has a long way to go before anyone can book a trip to Alpha Centuri.

Maybe I'm just a cranky dickhead whom needs to go to bed.
Whom, who, or that: which pronoun is most appropriate for that sentence, and why?

Generally they just try to mix it up, but a lot of places definitely avoid stereotypes (even if they're true).

When the coal miner exited the mine shaft, she took a breath of fresh air.

The customer was having a difficult time finding tampons in the store, so he asked the clerk for help.
