how is this even...?!

[bg23]

it's horrifying.

"were you there" is a great way to rebut every scientific study ever done regarding evolution, apparently. it's like visual evidence of how individuals who can't think for themselves are being created right before my eyes.

Holy shit. I hate religious nuts. I hate religion.

Lets hope the kid is better at maths.

Question: How long has this kind of bullshit been taught ? Never heard of it being taught in Australia or NZ and certainly my two kids never came up against this kind of nonsense?

 

[CHNOPS]

I'm going with hoax. Who took the picture? The teacher who gave it? The kid who aced it? Plus, nothing about the test suggests 4th grade, regardless of the "science" associated with it.

Seems too perfectly wrong, too provocatively worded, and too flippantly compiled to be anything but a joke.

It's 4th grade -- I tutor a 3rd grader who attends a catholic school, we just finished a unit on how a bunch dinosaurs all got killed by a meteor that hit mexico.

I'd go with parent saying "WTF SOUTH CAROLINA", since it's an SC school.

Regardless of Hoax or not -- creationism IS taught in schools in America, isn't it?

Nuts.

I just found this quiz

http://www.landoverbaptist.org/news0101/sciencequiz.html

1. Why are there clouds in the sky?

A. Heat causes water on the Earth to condense and rise into the atmosphere where it forms clouds.

B. Clouds are God's footprints in Heaven and are made up of the dust from his feet.

Correct answer: B. (Clouds are God's footprints in Heaven and are made up of the dust from his feet) "The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet" (Nahum 1:3).

Do you think it's possible the pics you've posted are a piss take?

I don't know for sure if creationism is taught in schools in America, but I've heard that in some states people reject evolution, so I reckon there's a good chance it is taught.

 

[bg23]

it's definitely a possibility as there's no school listed or anything, but yeah, i do know that creationism IS taught in a lot of schools in the US and i don't imagine the tests those kids take would be too different.

It's one of the best satire sites, right behind Mrs. Betty Bowers (America's Best Christian).

How dare you post julybaby's homework!

I thought about her when I read the "were you there?" comment above.

She used that very argument with Merc recently when she "proved" that Democrats deliberately discarded military votes and double- and triple-counted minority votes.

Hopefully one day America can divest itself of this kind of intellectually debilitating nonsense referred to as creationism...

...and at least take some sort of role - however modest it may be - in contributing to world advancement.

Home schooling should be outlawed for the common good...

...regardless of any exceptions to the collective rule:

'We're just average folks': The family sending all ten of their home-schooled children to college by the age of 12

A mother who home-schools her ten children in Montgomery, Alabama, has opened up about how six of them began their college degrees by the age of 12.

Those of the Harding siblings who have already graduated from college have gone on to become a doctor, an architect, a spacecraft designer and a master's student. Another two - 12 and 14-years-old - are still finishing up their degrees.

- full story @ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/a...ng-home-schooled-children-college-age-12.html

Surely this sparsely resourced planet could do better without parents like those above whose selfishness is apparent in how many kids they chose to bear, instead of aborting at least 9 or 10 or them for the general welfare...

...what's even scarier is:

Just imagine what those parents might've instilled in all those wastes regarding a Creator...

...and, for God's sake, these retards are from Alabama!

Not as fact, no. It is taught in a few places as a second, equal "theory" to evolution.

My son brings a lot of homework home. Never once has it been headed, "First Grade Homework" or "First Grade Science Homework." It wouldn't make any sense for it to do so. He knows he's in first grade.

For what it's worth, his homework is harder than that "4th Grade Science Quiz." Everything from that hanging curve of a title to the way-too-convenient true-false answers suggests to me that this is just a joke. Nothing real or legitimate about it, except perhaps as a kids' activity in the Creationism Museum or the like.

We have lots of dummies here who believe in creationism, but I'd bet this is a shot at them, not a product of them.

I learnt about creationism and a little bit about evolution and still managed to find my way through life.

You nailed it. The quiz and learnin' materials are available on Amazon.com (LINK) and was written by the good folks at the Creation Museum.

Dinosaurs would have been first created on the fifth day.

And yes, I was there actually.
