Dinosaurs and Man

The best part is the part about Hitler (called "His Famous Student").

Not because it's dishonest even. It's mostly just a bunch of quotes from MK.


But it's absolutely hilarious because the way he came to his actions and used evolution the same way evil people have used religion is all right there and spelled out... and they don't even seem to realize it. They're just having a field day with the fact that he *was* an evolutionist.


Like, clearly, since he was an evolutionist, evolution is evil.

...

Well, what they are really getting at is the idea that evolution was the justification- the purpose- of the holocaust and Hitler's ambition. Which is true, to an extent. Hitler was a big supporter of the eugenics concepts. Lets ignore for a moment that he had a shaky understanding of what he was using as inspiration (much like most people that use religion as justification for something!).

So fine, give evolution WWII. Lets say evolution was the "cause" of this war. Lets tally up then:

Wars caused by evolution: 1
Wars caused by religion: Uncountable and rising

Clearly, evolution is evil. Proof positive!

That is sadder than a baby panda trying to wake the corpse of it's dead mother up, just before being shot in the face by a crying 6 year old girl.

[Mizango]

Wow that is sad, hesitated not once and aced it. Then again I think about humanity as a whole and am not that surprised.

[Stilzkin]

Isn't that test fake and just made for people to feel smart

[Max™]

It made me feel stupid by association with the rest of humanity, so I'd hope not.

Now I can pretend I'm as smart as Max!

samesies! the fact that only 10% know that shit is saddddd.

All 12 correct here as well... I wonder if that thing self updates its statistics or if the %s of answers correct are off. I mean... that knowledge is ridiculously easy to answer. Though the true/false of lasers focus sound into a beam tripped me for a sec, since they use light... but I recently read about a similar thing focusing sound, just that I can't remember what it's name was.

I was looking around the google-web about that test and every screenshot I saw listed the exact same percentages that have been posted here. Either it never updates itself or there's something up with the test.

By the way, I passed the test with 12/12 and I haven't taken science since sophomore biology, which I failed.

I'm no smarter than anyone else, I'm just cursed with a different set of innate questions which forced me down a different path than most people.

[kuronosan]

12/12.

[ZarakiKujata]

At this point I think someone would be too embarassed to post if they didnt get a 12/12

[Max™]

I actually had to stop and look at a few of them, making sure I wasn't missing some really intricately phrased trick question... but nope, it's like they wrote it for 12 year olds.

[Max™]

More or less. :D

[Cyn]

I got 3 of 12 right. But I'm content with 50% yo.

[Stiker]

Got 12/12 as well. As far as the percentages go, take a look a the top left-hand corner of the results page.
