Thanks to Jerry Coyne's website I found a quiz about evolution at BBC News.
Quiz: Test your knowledge of evolution

I answered all 7 questions correctly (correct according to BBC News).
The 7th question, are evolution and religion incompatible, I was dishonest and said false because I knew that's the answer they wanted.
After Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859 it became impossible for an intelligent person to believe in the god thing.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
