First and Last Name *

1. Cells can now be viewed at magnifications that allow us to see their incredible structural design features. How high can the Scanning Electron Microscope magnify? *

1 point

a. 100 X

b. 400 X

c. 1000 X

d. 100,000 X

3. Although Spontaneous Generation had been disproved, which of evolution’s strongest proponents continued to advocate for its acceptance, and then committed an act of fraud to keep the hypothesis alive. *

1 point

a. Ernst Haeckel

b. Louis Pasteur

c. Thomas Huxley

d. Charles Darwin

4. How complex are cells in reality? *

1 point

a. The equivalence of a nanoscale micro-engine.

b. Similar in detail to a marvel of modern technology, like the international space station, but one that is fully self-sustainable.

c. The only adequate comparison is an entire city full of machines, highways, factories, and libraries of information.

d. Galadriel stated that it was as “inconceivable that such a thing exists within the realms of men”.

5. Darwin said: “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down”. What discovery precisely demonstrates just what Darwin feared? *

1 point

a. The discovery of the cell by Robert Hooke

b. The microscope which allowed us to see the highways of the cell

c. Molecular machines that are irreducibly complex – like the Cilia.

d. Mendelian genetics

6. The cilia and flagellum are both involved with what cellular process? *

1 point

a. The translation of messenger RNA into proteins

b. The movement of cells (i.e. swimming)

c. The manufacturing of organelles

d. Transportation of substances within a cell down a microtubule highway

7. All of the following are true of ATP synthase except which? *

1 point

a. It is found in the mitochondria

b. It is composed of 500 protein subunits

c. To do its job, it also requires numerous protein enzymes as well as ATP.

d. It makes important enzymes called “synthetase”.

8. What is cooption? *

1 point

a. A type of symbiotic relationship between two or more single celled organisms.

b. The process of transporting materials within the cell using microtubules as roadways and proteins call kinesin as robotic motors.

c. The evolution theory for the development of the flagellum by repurposing preexisting cellular components.

d. The process of copying the DNA strand in the nucleus to create the “messenger” used to produce new protein.

9. Why is DNA perhaps the most powerful argument for intelligent design? *

1 point

a. The structure is irreducibly complex.

b. DNA is information, which is only known to come from an intelligent mind.

c. The nucleotides in a DNA chain are made of only right-handed ribose molecules.

d. It serves no other purpose than to specify the amino acids used in a peptide.

10. What is the specific role of DNA in the cell? *

1 point

a. Its coded instructions for the making and use of proteins.

b. It serves as the main structural molecule that comprises the cytoskeleton

c. It is used as a highway upon which the kinesin (walking robot) transports packets of manufactured goods.

d. It is the primary energy carrier that is used for metabolic reactions.

11. About how much information is there in the nucleus of a single human cell? *

1 point

a. Equivalent to 1000 books

b. Equivalent to a huge volume like Harry Potter

c. Equivalent to all the worlds libraries

d. Equivalent to 500 stacks of books reaching the moon or a single stack of books reaching the sun.

12. According to evolutionists, where did all that genetic information come from? *

1 point

a. Loki Laufeyson and others proposed that DNA was part of the original fabric of the universe before the evolution of Asgard.

b. Random mutations coupled with natural selection.

c. Most now believe that ancient aliens likely seeded life here on Earth.

d. The original sequences came from pure chance processes of chemical interactions.

e. A and C.

f. B and D.

13. Francis Crick said “Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed, but rather evolved.” What discovery was he awarded the Nobel Prize for? *

1 point

a. A missing link he called “pithecanthropus alalus” meaning speechless ape-man.

b. The Bacterial flagellum

c. The Double Helix (shape of the DNA molecule)

d. The function of Transfer RNA in production of proteins.
