The science quiz was ridiculously easy 13 out of 13. The religion quiz was pretty easy as well, but I did miss the Great Awakening question 14 out of 15.
The results shed a lot of light on what is wrong with this country."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003

Science was trivial, though I think they should leave out the global warming question just to avoid irritating people - it doesn't really mesh with the rest of the stuff there anyway.
The religion one was interesting; I ended up getting two wrong, but I would've changed my answer on the earlier one if I'd been able to as I knew I had it wrong just after I answered it. The final question (Great Awakening) i had no idea whatsoever about, so took a 50/50 shot and got it wrong.<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

Perfect on the science and missed the great awakening question. Which I also took a 50% shot.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Honestly, for the Great Awakening question I got it right because I knew that the other people were the wrong answers.
I know the Second Great Awakening much better (~1840s) as it is relevant for my denomination.
It is interesting how 'social' the great awakenings were. There was a large emphasis on social improvement, democracy, and so on. There is a claim that there was another in the late 70s/early 80s but it doesn't share much similarity with the previous ones.

The ones in the 18th and 19th centuries went along with or started things like women's right movements, abolition, temperance, democracy (everyone can understand religion), and social care (things like YMCA started then).

13/13
15/15 - though there were more than a few of the religion questions that were US history based, so people from other countries would have no idea“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

Originally posted by Krill View PostFriday was the right answer, HC, according to he quiz. Also got 13 out of 13 on science, 13 out of 15 on religion.
That comes from Genesis 1, 'And the evening and the morning were the first day."
So the 2nd day starts with another 'evening'.Formerly known as "CyberShy"

Almost every single person on this site scored 13 out of 13 on science and yet almost every debates descent into stupidity. GO POLYIt's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple
