Saw one of those random quizzes, with the title "Are you smarter than an Athiest?".
Apparently on a survey, atheists scored 21/32 on a religion quiz, whilst catholics for example scored 14/32.

Considering I scored 32/32, I am surprised those scores are not higher (admittedly, 1 was luck based on being familiar with a name).

I scored 1/32 because I think your link takes you to the last question!

Did it properly and got 31/32. I guessed that teachers in the US could lead the class in prayer, apparently not.

Seemed like a quiz for kids, average score in 84%.

Theoretically, even one gene-drive–engineered organism could crash an entire population.

That possibility terrified some people when they learned about the yellow fruit fly experiment. If a gene-drive–containing organism were to escape from the lab and start breeding with its wild counterparts, it could irrevocably alter the wild population. Maybe even wipe it out.

You're right, my mistake! Corrected it.

I got 29/32. I don't know where Jesus was born, which poor sap sacrificed his son for God, or who Jonathan Edwards is.
