10. Human beings, as we know them today, developed from earlier species of animals. True or false?I guess, MAYBE, it depends what you classify as human beings and whether they are still animals or not.

Some of these questions don’t lend themselves to T or F.
For 2 and 10, from a scientific perspective, the answer is, we don’t know.
For #3, it all depends on your reference point. The complexity of making it work the other way is not pertinent.

Is the object of this quiz...an answer to No. 10??
And we need to know all those things because??
To: SeekAndFind
Big deal: #2, and #7 are bad enough; where was the global warming question. This whole thing is just to push an agenda.

I got them all right, but 7 & 10 should be reworded a bit in my opinion.

I wasn't going to click the link because I didn't think it was really worth my time ... except ... what DO they say about #7 ... so I looked;
1. True (84%); 2. True (83%); 3. Earth around the sun (74%); 4. False (72%); 5. True (53%); 6. False( 47%); 7. True; (39%); 8. True (63%); 9. False (51%); 10. True (48%)

So there you go, Americans are wrong because the answers are wrong.

Woohoo 100%...I guess I could be POTUS. Oh wait, I do not play golf, lie, cheat or am queer so that leaves me out.
Oh, well back to the salt mine.

I would reword 7 & 10 to say:
7. Many scientists believe the universe began with a huge explosion called the big bang. True or false?
10. Many scientists believe that Human beings, as we know them today, developed from earlier species of animals in a process known as evolution. True or false?

In 2012, Americans answered an average of 5.8 out of the survey’s 9 questions correctly. That's a score of 65% barely a passing grade.
Wait... 9 Questions?????!!!!! There are 10 listed! And the original article has 10 listed yet says 9 questions!
Why are we listening to the scientific idea of people who can't count. How did the editor miss that one?

My experience is most public schools have de-emphasized teaching hard science in favor of ecology and other environmentalist crap. When they do teach it it's dumbed down, like they have dumbed down math.
So, I'm not surprised by this.

No. 7 is speculative also....but goes along with No. 10.
To: Idaho_Cowboy
It’s apparent the Department of Education is underfunded.

The usual quibbles with imperfect terminology from science reporters who are obviously not scientists. For example, it isn’t the fathers “gene” that determines the sex of the child but whether the spermatozoon contains a Y chromosome or an X. There is, as well, the problem of confusing the most current theory with established truth. That isn’t how science works.
To: SeekAndFind
7 hasn’t been proven yet. Big Bang is just a theory. I’m a “recycling Universe” type.
