Speak Out: SC Christian School Test Asks, 'Do You Believe in Dinosaurs?'

An Upstate school test is making the rounds on social media disputing the existence of dinosaurs, based on biblical principles. Tell us what you think in the comments section below

GREER, SC -- A test from an Upstate Christian school is making the rounds on social media.

The test, allegedly given to fourth-grade students at a Christian-based school north of Greer, is titled "Dinosaurs: Genesis and the Gospel." A book with the same name was published in 2004 by Answers in Genesis.

The test first started making rounds on social media on Sunday when it was posted in a chat room on atheism on Reddit.

According to Snopes, the test is legitimate as someone believed to be the child's father sent a statement to the website saying that the test had been brought home by his 10-year-old daughter.

The man wrote that some of the test questions were first brought to his attention when he and his daughter heard a commercial about a dinosaur display traveling through the Upstate. The man began to question his daughter after she argued that dinosaurs were not millions of years old, as stated in the commercial. The next day she brought home the attached test.

The man wrote that his child will not be attending the school next year, but said that he would not disclose the name of the school until the end of the school year.

How would your child answer these questions? Would you be upset if your child were given this test? Tell us what you think in the comments section below.

When they can't find a job and are on welfare, don't blame the left.

[natina]

obviously you do not understand that the apparent bible omision of dinosaurs is to many a reason to doubt that the bible is real


Are Dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible?

I'd like to nominate this for non-story of the year. Right up there with the Benghazi cover up & Larry Kudlow's totally unsubstantiated bullshit speculation that the IRS scandal is a plot by organized labor.

When I was a kid I had Dinosaur toys, and I got to know all the names. But back then T-Rex walked on his hind legs like a man, and dragged his tail around behind him.
My Sunday School class was full of Juvenile Delinquents, that's where I saw my first condom. Everybody was trying to prove that even though their Moms were dragging them to Church, they were still bad-ass.

When stuff like this given credence and public currency it shows (a) that some US christians are crazy and (b) that a public school system that allows them to peddle this nonsense unchallenged is discredited.

Get one of these loons in the White House and goodbye world.

Christian schools are usually private...
