Click here to take Richard Carrier's 24 question (T/F) scientific literacy test. The quiz is followed by a section which explains why the answers are what they are. If you don't do well, don't feel too bad about it, as Carrier notes in his introduction

Scientific literacy is hard to acquire and is not widespread. Science is, after all, a very complex and nuanced affair that can only be truly understood with wide experience and deep thought. It took the whole of human civilization thousands of years to hit upon it, and thousands more to master it. Recent books have explored the unnatural, counter-intuitive, and difficult nature of science, refuting the naive Enlightenment view that science is nothing more than disciplined common sense.
