I had trouble with the measurement ones (i.e. percent of water coverage, oldest fossil age). I thought science was about principles, not statistics.

i don’t know who jim bob is - but how much room for error is there on the 3.8 billion years? i guessed 4.
since i graded myself - i got the rest of them as well. it is funny how the basic questions are really science type questions. how come no literature or social history type stuff? doesn’t seem that “basic” to me. seems a little biased.
