Fallacy!

Now i learned some interesting things while researching for this blog. And one thing I realized is that a lot of the things we believe are FALSE! That is why i have decided to have a new segment called 'Fallacy.' Where I will debunk popular notions and refine them with truth or at least verisimilitude, you decide. So, without further ado five FünFacts that debunk popular notions:

#5
Now, we've all learned probability in high school in which we always assume the probability of getting a heads or tails is actually 50/50.
FALLACY!
The actual odds of determining the chances of heads or tails are not 50/50 if a human is flipping it. By the laws of mechanics, the chances of the face that is upwards is 51 and the other is 49. So next time you toss a coin, you know what to call.

#4
Ever noticed how babies are drawn to their mothers from the moment of their birth, like they know exactly who they are.
FALLACY!
Babies don't recognize or care for their mother, or for that matter anyone, for at least 3 months until they are used to their smell. And sometimes not even then if the mother is picky about what cologne to wear.

NB: I thought of Photoshopping a baby in some kind of joke, but look at that!
Coochie coochie coo!


#3
We all know that the Church of England does not necessarily conform to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and it is believed that that's the way it has always been since the theory was first published.
FALLACY!
Charles Darwin's theory when released did not actually worry the Church of England. They said the ideas in the bible were metaphorical and encouraged people to believe in the idea of linear evolution.

#2
Mars, not the God, but the planet, is often called the red planet because we believe that is it's color.
FALLACY!
Mars is actually dusty brown even though it is called the red planet. It appears red because of the dust in the atmosphere.

#1
This is interesting. I love rhyming and people always tell me, "Give me rhyme for orange, you can't can you? That is because there is no word that rhymes with orange" *say in annoying person tone and insert the word, 'dude', randomly*
FALLACY!
Words rhyming with orange: Blorenge (a place in Wales) and Gorringe (a last name that is probably a derivative of the German name Göring)

I will ask a question after every fallacy segment for which i will provide the answer to in the next fallacy segment(which could be weeks away, so i don't know why I'm doing this). If you think you know the answer, let me know in the comments. The first person to give me a right answer will have the satisfaction of being smarter than the others and will win a $2 amazon gift card!(it's not much, but to be fair, you are only answering a question.) So lets see some answers.

Fallacy question:
According to the bible, how many sheep did Noah take on his ark?
