Were cells created on the fourth or fifth day?
Why are these people studying a biology course anyway? Know thine enemy? They must feel like fish out of water... without the legs.

Naturally you will pass. LOL, of course if they grade the test on a curve (so a fixed %age pass) that will be unavoidable.

More seriously, have they tried explaining the Xtian fundie position on gene sequencing etc.? I haven't heard even an attempted explanation - barring evolution - for the commonality of so much of our genes with chimpanzees, and the gradually lesser overlap with less related species and geni.
If they accept gene sequencing is accurate (and it's rather hard to deny, IMO) then at what %age human genes do you get a soul? 100% is, of course, a trick answer <g>
