manmustwac: I don't think that intelligence has anything to do with atheism. I believe its boils down to how open minded the individual is.

But there is a straight line correlation between IQ and religiousity. High IQ individuals tend to be indifferent to religion, Agnostic or Atheists.

I doubt if you can find any MENSA members carrying a bible or any holy book.

Afterall, what is intelligence?.
I think it is about being able think beyond what is presented to you.
You can see the level of a child's intelligence by noting how curious, observant and skeptical that child is.

The fear of God remains the beginning of wisdom. oh sorry, wisdom is not intelligence.

You should have learnt that quoting the old testament as truth is erroneous.

We can start quoting the old testament


1)The atheist lie;
Psalm 14:1
King James Version (KJV)
14 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.


2)Brotherly love of thy brothers wife?
Deuteronomy 25:5-9
King James Version (KJV)
5 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her

what is wrong with the verses you quoted, and how do they disqualfy every old testament verse? two questions.

Yes, you'd f4ck your brother's wife if he dies abi?

Or do you believe that all atheists are fools? Is Seun a fool? Bill Gates? Dawkins?

I'm for one wife, and i believe that anyone who thinks there is no God is a fool. You seem to lack retentive memory, or are you not supposed to be one of the 'intelligent atheists' in your charts and graphs?

What are you then doing on a fool's website, discussing on a topic about fools with a fool?

i don't discriminate, don't you think? Would you spend a fool's money? Wisdom, intelligence and folly are not limited to academics, its rounded. Your folly is rounded. Its like what they call cgpa. The spiritual carries the most points and units. You have a fail cgpa if you fail the spiritual. Its what mr. Jesus was saying when He rhetorically said "what will it profit a man if he gained the whole world and lost his soul".
You as a fool who doesnt believe God needs me, or people like me. That's why we're discussing.

Wow, that was a whole new level of spiritual retardeen

Wow, I really debunked Image123 hard

Exactly. The more religious people are, the less intelligent and the more intelligent people are, the less religious.

where is this guy self?

Is he still ok?

I once saw a deleted thread saying he is dead or so. is it true or FALSE?

On topic, pride and trusting on ones self makes one proud and not to "keep on asking".

No Matter how wise a fish inside water is, it will never understand how and why human live outside water without dying.

Think about that ^

Dr D K Olukoya has a PhD in Molecular Genetics Just saying

Logicboy03:

Just curious.

When did Seun became an atheist?

Befor owning NL or after owning NL?
Thanks.

advocate666:

It is.

It isn't.

PhD is not synonymous with intelligence. PhDs are cheap this days.

No I don't think that is does in the general sense of intelligence. The people you have mentioned are mainly related to science so perhaps there is a correlation between people growing in scientific knowledge and doubting the existence of a personal God but there are also examples of scientists that are growing in knowledge and still very much believe in God such as John Lennox.

Also consider people like Martin Luther King and Gandhi. They were both intelligent men (though I'm not keen in Gandhi's take on complete pacifism) not in terms of science but in terms of peace and equality and how to establish equal rights. C. S. Lewis was a brilliant writer, very creative and skilled. All of these people believed in some sort of God. This is why I think it is better to avoid such generalisations. Intelligence can be measured in many different ways. Many atheists though not believers in Jesus as the son of God view him as an intelligent man with ideas about humanity that were ahead of his time i.e. loving thy neighbour, challenging the authority of high priests and hierarchy.

So in relation to science, yes you probably do have a strong case but in regards to intelligence in general I don't think there is any link.
