Score for this survey: 1 out of 1 Submitted Mar 11 at 12:43am This attempt took less than 1 minute.  Question 1 0 / 0 pts They are paid lots of money to assemble, test and improve humanity's knowledge of how nature works, to provide people the ability to do useful things. They have an opinion about how nature works, which is no better or worse than the opinions held by any other group of people. You Answered They are paid lots of money to assemble, test and improve humanity's knowledge of truth and how things should be, to provide people the ability to order their lives properly.  Question 2 0 / 0 pts Hi Geosc-ers! Welcome to "The Students Speak #9," our weekly survey and starting point for Unit 9. Have a great week! Which more nearly reflects your views about scientists?

Examine the pictures shown above. They are both from a road cut along Interstate 70 in central Utah. The rocks on the bottom are layers of sandstone and mudstone, with the grains glued together by material such as is deposited in modern plumbing by hard water; these rocks contain features (ripple marks, critter burrows) of the sort that are produced in shallow ocean water today. These layers on the bottom are oriented vertically (tipped up on end) and are abruptly truncated at the top. The layer immediately above is nearly horizontal, and has the sort of root-cast carbonate nodules that form today in desert soils where a little water is present. Above that are rocks that can be traced across much of central Utah, and are found to contain mud cracks, bird footprints, fossil fish, etc., spread throughout layers hundreds of feet thick. The site today is high and dry in the desert, and native American sites on top of the uppermost rocks extend back in time well before European settlement.

You Answered Layers or rock were deposited in a shallow seaway, hardened by hard-water deposits, then turned up on end, eroded to develop a soil, inundated by a shallow lake that produced fish and fed birds and dried on the edges to make mud cracks, and later dried and eroded to give the current outcrop, processes that would have taken a long time. All of the rocks, with all of those characteristics, were produced during a single, global, one-week-long flood about 5000 years ago. No one has any good idea what happened, and they should quit pretending that they do. I know what happened, but I'm not telling anyone.  Question 3 0 / 0 pts The highway department planted the patterned plants to be pretty for tourists. You Answered Natural joints have formed, providing space for roots and for rainwater that the roots need. Aliens built this as a landing ground for their spaceships. The government has secret communications antennas buried here for radio contact with nuclear submarines. Based on this description, and based on any other related things that are important to you, what do you think happened here? And on a lighter subject, look at the checker board orientation of the little bushes in the lower part of the picture shown above, on the near side and far side of the road. It is likely that:
