MacDaddy01: Iranian American Alia Sabur – youngest Professor ever, Guinness Book of World Records The youngest university professor is Alia Sabur (USA, b. 22 February 1989). She was appointed as a full-time faculty Professor at Konkuk University, Seoul, South Korea as Research Liaison with Stony Brook University (New York, USA) with effect from 19 February 2008, aged 18 years 362 days. Alia has been setting records and making history starting with reading at 8 months old. Her IQ was determined off the charts. She went from 4th grade to college, earning a B.S. in Applied Mathematics, summa cum laude from Stony Brook University at age 14, the youngest female in American history. She then earned an M.S. and Ph.D. (ABD) in Materials Science and Engineering from Drexel University.

MacDaddy01:To be honest, I don't see any reason why an 11 year-old can't be a physics professor as long as he knows his stuff |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by MacDaddy01: 2:00pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
Lord_Reed: 18 year old professor is an adult. She went to schools and learnt a lot. What qualifications does an 11 year old have to start preaching to adults. Try as much as you can but you cant justify this foolishness |

@anony Your point is noted, but doesn't the nature of the subject count? Most sciences, especially math/physics, if the kid is wrong he can be shown to be wrong conclusively by other scientists. With religion we have people arguing over whether the death sentence is apt for eating shellfish, with no one being either right or wrong. In academia it's usually science wunderkinds that get love and attention, other fields with a subjective bent? Not so much (except maybe visual arts, music - which is usually compared to math actually, stuff like that, not say philosophy, or even literaure). Also, peer reviewing, etc, brings a little objectivity even in topics like philosophy. With religion, all I'd need is a clean suit and an endorsement from any of the wise bro's with joshua, or l ron hubbard etc, and I'm boss. Next I'm an authority on morality. To stroke your ego a bit, not everyone can discern bs from info worth having as well as you, and even then you could still make mistakes easily. Leaving this issues to a kid that is likely to be low on emotional maturity, which is not as easily verified as say IQ, borders on being irresponsible |

MacDaddy01: You call it foolishness but the World around you shows you possibility yet you want to deny it. Do you imagine if an 11 year qualified to be a professor s/he could not find some university who'd employ him/her? |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by MacDaddy01: 2:06pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
Lord_Reed: 11 year old professor is impossible. |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by LordReed(m): 2:15pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
MacDaddy01: I supposed I would have said so in time past but not after seeing someone go to college from 4th grade. |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by MacDaddy01: 2:20pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
Lord_Reed: Well, you can believe what you want to believe. Facts and history can never be on your side once you start pimping 11 year old leaders/teachers |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by LordReed(m): 2:22pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
MacDaddy01: If you support my right to believe why are you edgy about it? |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by MrAnony1(m): 2:25pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
wiegraf: @anonyYou have very little understanding as well as a very low regard for religion and that is the reason why you find it absurd. Within a religion, there are also checks and balances by which a person may be judged as saying the right or wrong thing. Priests disagree the same way philosophers disagree and physicists and biologists disagree. I can almost bet you don't know which pastors are respected and which are not, the same way you don't know which physicists are most respected in their fields (assuming you are not a physicist) The only difference is that since you don't respect religion as much as physics, you see the young pastor genius as bad and the young physics genius as good In the same way wearing a lab coat doesn't make you a scientist, wearing the suit equally does not make you a pastor. The question at the core is: does he know what it is he is talking about? If indeed he does, then fair-play to him, he is a wonder-kid. If he doesn't know what he is talking about, then he is a sham. All I am saying is that you can't judge his ability/anointing armed only with his picture and the information that he is 11 years old. |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by MacDaddy01: 2:28pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
Lord_Reed: Edgy? If your belief is foolish, then saying it is foolish is telling the simple truth. Christianity has bullied common sense for far too long -If I ran around saying that god said that I should walk naked in the streets, people would put me in mental institution -If I ran around saying that god made me a prophet and I should slap witches for deliverance, people will pay me tithes |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by LordReed(m): 2:43pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
MacDaddy01: Yes the sacrifice of the cross is foolishness according to men, yet I have accepted it; shouldn't make you vehement. |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by MacDaddy01: 2:48pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
Lord_Reed: Was Jesus vehement when he flogged traders out of the church? I am not angry or edgy. The point is that I am stating the consequences of believing in nonsense. People start doing nonsense as a result. |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by LordReed(m): 2:57pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
MacDaddy01: He sure was. People doing nonsense is not new under the sun and they claim all sorts of reasons. Your singling out of Christianity smacks of some latent vehemence. O well we shall have to accept that you are not being vehement as you claim. |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by MrAnony1(m): 3:05pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
Lord_Reed:@Lord_Reed, don't waste your breath on Macdaddy. You have made your point. He has nothing further to say so he has now switched from the topic to Jesus flogging. When you prove him wrong again, he will switch to "Jesus slavetrader" and to "Jesus racist" and on and on. He will keep producing one childish argument after the other and shouting DEBUNKED and EPIC FAIL at the slightest opportunity. He will even resort to hurling insults like a spoilt child when arguments don't go his way. He is a very boring opponent to argue with. My advise: Unless you have nothing better to do, don't bother. |

Mr_Anony: Why the hatred for logicboy aka macdaddy? |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by wiegraf: 5:41pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
Mr_Anony: That's fair since I know little of the process. It is hard to accept a child could be an authority on say morality, but I'll leave that for now. My morality need not be yours. As long as we're not infringing on each other's rights, it's very much live and let live. Who am I to tell you you're wrong? Etc |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by Bella3(f): 8:29pm On Aug 30, 2012 |
Mr_Anony:GBAM! |

To me child preachers, child lecturers, child beggars, child workers and any other child anything is child abuse and be criminalized. A child should be allowed the joy of being a child. A child at 11 should be in school If a child is not deemed matured enough to drink alcohol, drive, have séx, enter night clubs or even sign legal documents until they are 16 or 18yrs(depending on country), why should a minor be allowed religious/ spiritual authority over adults. How is he supposed to teach the more séxually explicit and violent part of the bible. |

wirinet: To me child preachers, child lecturers, child beggars, child workers and any other child anything is child abuse and be criminalized. A child should be allowed the joy of being a child. A child at 11 should be in school You don't believe in it in the first place, so what is it to you if an adult or a child preaches about it. |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by MacDaddy01: 11:11am On Aug 31, 2012 |
JIL: Irrelevant. Address the topic. It doesnt matter if he believes in it or not. A child lecturing an adult on what he doesnt understand is plain wrong. |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by MrAnony1(m): 11:15am On Aug 31, 2012 |
MacDaddy01:You are right. But what about when the child knows what he is talking about? |
Re: The Odd Side Of Christianity; Child Preachers by MacDaddy01: 11:23am On Aug 31, 2012 |
Mr_Anony: If the child is preaching about the cartoon version of Moses parting the red sea, no problem. We are talking of the real bible that talks about sexual relationships, sacrifice, death by crucifixion, slavery etc. An 11 year old can not fully understand such things |
