Didn't any of these people go to bible school?

Someone just pointed me to a story (click here) where, in a poll, a third of the respondents couldn't name all four gospels; and 12% identified Noah's wife as (wait for it) Joan of Arc!

Well, I guess when the world is only 6000 years old and you have guys living for over a century, it's understandable that you'd think all this history was just all squashed together. Besides, Terry Pratchett's Discworld series (which I am in the process of re-reading for the umpteenth time) reminds us that "then" and "now" and "later" are all just human concepts anyway, that time is really just all one big "thing".
