Are you open minded?

[DaveinJapan]

More hilarity from "the Bible Project", I just can't put this book down!
So, dare to take the quiz? I didn't bother, but I LOVE the questions.




1) Do you resist admitting the possibility that a conservative approach to education is far more effective for students than a liberal one?

2) Do you resist admitting that something you accepted for over a decade is, in fact, completely false?

3) Do you resist the possibility that Hollywood values result in significant harm for those who believe in them, and to innocent bystanders?

4) Do you think it is impossible that increased gun ownership reduces the rate of crime?

5) When President Ronald Reagan told Mr. Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall, did you think that it was impossible for the Berlin Wall to be torn down?

6) Did you think, or still think, that the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") is impossible?

7) Do you think that it is impossible that the Shroud of Turin is authentic?

8) Do you think that there must be a material explanation for remarkable homing and migration behavior of birds and butterflies?

9) Do you think that it is impossible for the speed of light to have been different in the past?

10) Do you think that it is impossible to measure openmindedness?

11) Do you think that evolution must have occurred?

12) Do you think that is impossible for the power of 2 in Newtonian gravity, whereby the gravitational force is proportional to 1/r2, to be more precise with an exponent that is slightly different from 2, such as a gravitational force proportional to 1/r2.00000001?

13) Do you resist admitting that some things taught to you in school are completely false, and even known to be false by some responsible for the material?

and it's very clear they wouldn't know thinking if it bit them on the a**.

Everyone knows it's only a theory and that in reality the Earth Sucks.
