DeSepiero:Are you trying to say those news were reported falsely DeSepiero:Controversial researcher Richard Lynn was the author of the study and Greame patons report about the study is given below: Professor Richard Lynn, emeritus professor of psychology at Ulster University, said many more members of the "intellectual elite" considered themselves atheists than the national average. A decline in religious observance over the last century was directly linked to a rise in average intelligence, he claimed. But the conclusions - in a paper for the academic journal Intelligence - have been branded "simplistic" by critics. Professor Lynn, who has provoked controversy in the past with research linking intelligence to race and sex, said university academics were less likely to believe in God than almost anyone else. A survey of Royal Society fellows found that only 3.3 per cent believed in God - at a time when 68.5 per cent of the general UK population described themselves as believers. Most of thestudies you hav given are by Miron Zuckerman, and did you know that Miron Zuckerman has recently come out to carefully point out that his work does not mean only dumb people believe in God. Rather,he says that, it shows only that more intelligent people may feel they have less need for religion. DeSepiero:Academy of sciences you say. We are talking about general education. The last study is seriously flawed and proves nothing. There have been times whenleading scientists were theists, did that hinder the progress of science. We are talking about education here. I'm trying to imagine you and cloudgoddess conducting a survey on religion and intelligence. We can know the result even before you start. I'm dissapointed cos out of about 60 studies on religiousity and intelligence, you can only give 3. Actually, ive read about 11 of such studies which affirm a negative correlation between education and religion. I have my reservations cos of the sample sizes and population of study. 1 Like 1 Share |

winner01: You should bow your head and keep quiet. Those researches were conducted by more than one author, published in world reputable journals and were definitely peer reviewed by a board of editors prior to publication. I am surprised you still had the guts to refute researches published in 'Nature', 'Intelligence' and 'Science'. It shows your height of delusion. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

DeSepiero:Zuckerman was the first author in many of the studies you posted and he has given his stand. We were talking about education and religiousity, you were giving examples on number of religious people in the Academy of sciences in the U.S.A, why didnt you tell us about medcine. You also talked about the worlds leading scientists in 1998, does that even mean anything? We know those who founded most science fields of today don't we? Those things simply dont follow our argument. You should not just copy everything you see out of ignorance and desperation. |

winner01: Their is a line between talking and trolling sir. A well defined line. And you seem to be on the wrong side of it more and more often, sir. I'm a young person. I've been taught to respect older people. That has been the reason on many occasions to not reply your posts and show how horribly wrong and fallacious most of your exposés are. That and I don't like controversies. My point is ; trolling atheists continually up and down and repeating near identical threads over and over again does not do well for your cause. It might keep the "baby" christians who are NOT curious in your religion away from it; but the eternally curious; the ones who hunger for knowledge wherever they can find it; will call your bluff; sir. 2 Likes |

DeSepiero: Point of correction Bro, religion cannot make someone dumb. If you are born with a very high IQ being religious can't make you dumb. Or can you explain to me, how religion can reduce someone's intelligence quotient? I believe you know that people are born with different talents, capabilities and interests. Simply because some people are more into religion and almost not interested in any other thing doesn't mean they are dumb. Those people in the field of science making research/discoveries and technological inventions that we all use today were born with such potentials in them. (those are the people you believe are using their brains for the development of humanity and you want everyone to be like them, but it is not possible because we have different interests, talents and Capabilities as i have stated earlier and everyone is contributing his/her own quota for the benefit of the society ) So there are people who are just not interested in that area and it's not because of religious reasons. 1 Like 1 Share |

DeSepiero: Lol, you are very funny, you mean you can't interprete that data? I saw the table showing the correlation on the first page. The statistics show that people with high IQ tend to be non-religious/don't believe in God. Not that religion reduces IQ /make people dumb, get the difference. |
