From an article in Houston Landing.
They had a short quiz that is given to six graders. I decided to take the test and passed it, but the answers were not definite. They could be true now but not true in the future.
Below is the question and possible answers:
Is the following statement true, false, probable, or unknown? “Earth is the only planet where life can be found.”
True
False
Probable
Unknown
We seem to begin with the thought that life must in some way resemble us.
Is God, the creator, assuming you believe in God, alive? Would he/she/it be considered life?
We can barely manage to send rockets to land on the planets in our solar system.
According to NASA, light will tell us if life exists on other planets, millions of light years away.
The correct answer is UNKNOWN
But that is because the person who wrote the question is incapable of thinking or thinking outside the box.
It is true at the moment, as we can’t prove that life outside of Earth exists.
It could be false in the future if extraterrestrial life contacts us, or we definitely identify it as life.
Can you teach someone to think? How would you measure it?
Want to teach how to think logically, does not mean that it allows one think outside the box?
Do it with geometry.
Discover the fundamental principles of mathematics and right reasoning.
Today more than ever we need logic and sound reasoning in defense of truth. And one of the best ways to develop these skills is through the study of Euclidean Geometry.
For more than 2,300 years, Euclid’s Elements has provided the foundation for countless students to learn how to reason with precision and pursue knowledge in all fields of learning. This classic text of Western civilization provides profound tools to distinguish truth from error by means of self-evident principles. Source
