If a person finishes the test answering all questions "Yes", that should be confirmation that not only does the test taker understand the Theory of Evolution.

I have two comments.
​
  1. You didn't finish that sentence. Not only does the test taker understand the theory of evolution, but also ... ?
    ​
  2. If all the answers are "yes", and a test taker knows this from reading you opening post, then it isn't really a test, is it? Any Bible-thumping hack could come in here and say "I understand the theory of evolution perfectly. Look, I answered everything with yes, and that settles it. Now, about the Flood..."

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." - Charles Darwin.

Did you know that most of the time your computer is doing nothing? What if you could make it do something really useful? Like helping scientists understand diseases? Your computer could even be instrumental in finding a cure for HIV/AIDS. Wouldn't that be something? If you agree, then join World Community Grid now and download a simple, free tool that lets you and your computer do your share in helping humanity. After all, you are part of it, so why not take part in it?

Re: Two comment
It is meant as a tool to show which parts of the ToE are or aren't understood by an individual.
​
I see. Good idea.
