4th Grade Science Test

[Immanuel]

Anyone with a computer, a printer and a twenty dollar printing software program, can make this and then take a picture of it and post it out on the net.

post the link that you got it from Synthaholic.

Perhaps it was synthesized by Synthaholic! Do you give him credit for having enough savvy?

Yes, I give him credit for having the savvy, but I don't believe he would stoop so low. That is more like something TM would do, but we know she didn't because the words were spelled correctly. I am also not certain she would understand that 100% was a perfect paper. She might have given it 1000%.

She would have given it a 12, her IQ, which she considers outstanding.

 

[PredFan]

Unbelievable.

Why bother with chemistry, biology, geology, anthropology and astronomy when all you need is a fairy-tale written 2000 years ago?

You're so gullible.

 

[novasteve]

WTF is wrong with these people?

This is from South Carolina.

Funny how you limp wristers think generalizing is wrong, but it's okay for you to generalize about white christians. That must be so hard to fake something like that. It would involve having a computer, a pencil, a piece of paper and a couple of stickers. Are you going to insult the tests and Jews because of the quizzes I took in hebrew school when I was in 4th grade too??

Are you limp wristed prancing sissies going ot?

 

[novasteve]

Perhaps for the benefit of the limp wristers on here we can show what they teach in muslim schools? Maybe liberals will insult that too? Will you?

 

[AVG-JOE]

Wait! You liberals say you love science and you claim we think science is bull shit. I say this test is bull shit taught by a bull shit teacher so I must hate science then.

It's obviously not from a public school. It's from a private, "faith-based" school or charter school, using taxpayer money to promote this crap and warp our childrens' minds.

It might be from a public school in Texas...

Prove it. Which school? Who took the photo? Who else has seen this directly?


I think it's made up bullshit you found on Facebook.

Perhaps.

But you can’t disprove the fact that some fundamentalist Christian textbooks do indeed promote the idiocy that humans and dinosaurs co-existed, textbooks that are available for use in so-called charter schools, Christian schools, and home schooling:

Bob Jones University Press text "Life Science", 3rd Edition (2007) states that humans lived with dinosaurs and speculates that some of those dinosaurs may have breathed fire.

Consequently the OP's questions and concerns are valid.

which school? name it! prove taxpayer money promoted it. Prove some asshole liberal didn't make it up and give it to gullible you? go ahead we will wait.

It's been many hours now... Still no link. What a surprise.

 

[Flopper]

Take a look at Science 4 for Christian Schools, an evangelical-written and -approved science textbook published in 1990. This copy came from The Country Church & Country Christian School in Molella, Oregon.
A similar text is used as a fifth grade science textbook in some Louisiana public schools, which teaches Biblical creationism alongside of evolution as the origin of life. We need to leave this type education to the churches and not our schools. America is falling behind other nations in education. We need better science education, not pseudo science.

I don't know if the test in this thread is fake or not, but with this type science education it certainly could be.

You are correct. The kids would be better off in a public school getting lessons about politically correct horse shit and free condoms and reading things like "Bobby has 2 Daddys".

The big bang theory is an unproven hypothethesis however it is taught as truth.

"Our ideas about the history of the universe are dominated by big bang theory. But its dominance rests more on funding decisions than on the scientific method, according to Eric J Lerner, mathematician Michael Ibison of Earthtech.org, and dozens of other scientists from around the world.

An Open Letter to the Scientific Community

Cosmology Statement.org (Published in New Scientist, May 22-28 issue, 2004, p. 20)
*
The big bang today relies on a growing number of hypothetical entities, things that we have never observed-- inflation, dark matter and dark energy are the most prominent examples. Without them, there would be a fatal contradiction between the observations made by astronomers and the predictions of the big bang theory.
*
In no other field of physics would this continual recourse to new hypothetical objects be accepted as a way of bridging the gap between theory and observation. It would, at the least, RAISE SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VALIDITY OF THE UNDERLYING THEORY.
*
But the big bang theory can't survive without these fudge factors. Without the hypothetical inflation field, the big bang does not predict the smooth, isotropic cosmic background radiation that is observed, because there would be no way for parts of the universe that are now more than a few degrees away in the sky to come to the same temperature and thus emit the same amount of microwave radiation.
*
Without some kind of dark matter, unlike any that we have observed on Earth despite 20 years of experiments, big-bang theory makes contradictory predictions for the density of matter in the universe. Inflation requires a density 20 times larger than that implied by big bang nucleosynthesis, the theory's explanation of the origin of the light elements. And without dark energy, the theory predicts that the universe is only about 8 billion years old, which is billions of years younger than the age of many stars in our galaxy.
*
What is more, the big bang theory can boast of no quantitative predictions that have subsequently been validated by observation. The successes claimed by the theory's supporters consist of its ability to retrospectively fit observations with a steadily increasing array of adjustable parameters, just as the old Earth-centred cosmology of Ptolemy needed layer upon layer of epicycles.
*
Yet the big bang is not the only framework available for understanding the history of the universe. Plasma cosmology and the steady-state model both hypothesise an evolving universe without beginning or end. These and other alternative approaches can also explain the basic phenomena of the cosmos, including the abundances of light elements, the generation of large-scale structure, the cosmic background radiation, and how the redshift of far-away galaxies increases with distance. They have even predicted new phenomena that were subsequently observed, something the big bang has failed to do."

Big Bang Theory Busted By 33 Top Scientists

Never mind the failed attempt to deflect, the thread isn’t about the Big Bang Theory, it’s about Christian fundamentalists teaching school children that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time, find 33 top scientists who agree with that.

 

[novasteve]

The big band theory was created by a catholic priest. However don't forget the left likes to deny science with it's not politically correct. Start talking about how biology makes gay men more suspectible to HIV and that gay men, being 2% of the population but 61% of HIV infection,s and watch the left call facts hateful and bigoted. Because the liberal pansies are offended by reality.

 

[Misty]

I've seen nothing to prove nor disprove God.

Nor I have seen anything that convinces me of how life on earth began.

Only theories. No proof. Of anything.
