Atheists are more intelligent than Religious people

Yes, now evolution because of their demand by the dark side to be used to dumb down all people is forced on students and adults, and into the minds of the dumb and getting dumber population. The tables have turned so that they can persecute anyone that dares oppose evolution and luck and chance thinking.

SEE Implications for Evolution thread

SEE Evolution is a Racist Doctrine thread

Now, because the majority falsely believe in the delusion and devastation of evolutionary thinking they are able to persecute others and CENSOR others as ******** proves.

Evolutionists hate being asked questions because they dont know where we came from and have no proofs and no evidences.
And so they persecute, mock and villify those that oppose them...

For with them its all pretense and semantics.

Looked there and once again you simply failed to support ANY of your assertions.

Looked there and once again you simply failed to support ANY of your assertions or provide any evidence that Evolution is a Racist Doctrine.

In addition you did not respond to the fact that you post lies.

That's a copout. Religiously-minded people can still be critical thinkers and can use evidence when there is evidence.

"Not negatively related"? That kind of contortion should set off your own alarm bells.

You're the one making the claim. It's right there in your topic title: "Atheists are more intelligent than Religious people". I'm just questioning your claim. You're the one who's making the extrapolation from "better at tests" to "more intelligent". The onus is on you to justify that extrapolation.

What does "more intelligent" even mean?

Hohum.

The study found that intelligence is negatively correlated with religiosity. That means that the more religious people are the less intelligent they are - on average So, if you're objecting to the conclusion it's your job to show why.

Ah, now I understand your problem.

Then answer the question.

You want me to give you the wiki on intelligence? Really?

No. I didn't ask what intelligence is. I asked: What does MORE intelligent mean?

What are the real-world implications of being "more intelligent"? What impact does it have on your life? What are the concrete results of the number 120 being bigger than the number 110?

University entrance, higher paid jobs? Faster learning, greater ability to understand complex ideas, ability to do hard sums that help us understand the universe, ability to talk shit on internet fora?

See above.

So atheists have higher paying jobs than religious people?

Do you have evidence that atheists are "better" at those things than religious people?

I dunno, seems likely but the paper and the thread deals with intelligence and religiosity. Perhaps you could address that?

It's your point. Perhaps you should address it yourself. You claimed that "more intelligent" means higher paid jobs. Unless you can back that up, it seems that "more intelligent" is meaningless rhetoric.

ringo writes: It's your point.

It's not my point. You asked for examples of how IQ affected our lives, I gave you a few including that. Now you're attempting to turn the topic away from the actual point which has to do with religiosity not jobs.

If you want to start a topic discussing what IQ tests are measuring and whether they work, be my guest. Meanwhile IQ tests are real and are used extensively in social studies as a way of assessing relative intelligence. So 'more intelligence and 'less intelligence' is being measured in some objective way. We know that some people are more intelligent than others and that this has a real effect in the world - they just attempt to put a number on it so it can be used analytically.

Try to keep up:

1. You claim that "Atheists are more intelligent than Religious people".
2. I asked what "more intelligent" means.
3. You gave, as an example, the ability to make more money.

IF you could demonstrate that atheists make more money than atheists (on average), then MAYBE that would be because they are more intelligent and your conclusion MIGHT be valid.

Intelligent people dont make more money than other people. Intelligent people, spiritual people invest their lives in people and not into things and possessions.

Evolutionists and atheists opnly have materialism and their pet theory of evolution as their worthless crutch into the next life.

How very sad
