Hi... 

  A scientific proof of God has recently emerged from
Psychometry (Factor analysis) and General Relativity.
(see my website URL at bottom of page).
The following questions are of primary relevance 
to the scientific proof of God.  If you can't answer at
least half of them there is little hope of your being able
to comprehend the scientific explanation of God. 
  I realize there is scant hope among amateurs of scoring
more than 40 or 50%, but you never know.  I am looking for
someone who can score at least an 80.
  How many of the following 25 questions can you 
answer correctly? 
  

  
  Mark your answers, and post it to the newsgroup.  I will post 
a reply to the newsgroup giving you your score. 
  Please mark your answers by putting an A,B,C, or D 
after the word "ANSWER" at the end of each question.
