I will respond to all of the above later when I'm less busy.

But in the maintime if you go back to read what I posted earlier you will see where I quoted you correctly "least thinkers " at the beginning to let you know the last one was an error .

I think you are the person who didn't understand my post. Why not go back?

cornelboy:
You believe the universe is without a designer?

nope I don't. Why did you ask?

Aemmyjah:
Let's go back to logic

The universe has a beginning and is eternal
Now, either the universe came from nothing or from something/someone

Only fools accept that something can emerge from nothing
If it did not come from nothing, it either came by someone eternal or something eternal

That's what a critical thinker should do
A good critical minded person is not overly pessimistic cos that is a characteristic of unintelligent people

In addition, you can measure God with the same substance we measure others since he's the one who made all things

Common sense tells me that something cannot come from nothing. That's the foolishness of atheists

a critical think will wait for evidence.
A critical thinker does jump to conclusions without basic knowledge

Aemmyjah:
Logic tells the mind nothing can come from nothing
Beat that logic na

religious people also hold this belief. God came from nothing

Aemmyjah:
That is where sense fails you

it does not, you just cat think.

In these parts, poverty and poor education are the main reason religion "always attract the least thinkers ". Boko Haram understands this very well ,hence they say "no to western education "

In countries where things work, with citizens having easy access to good quality education ,people living there are only interested in practicing a religion because of what they hope to benefit from it and not necessarily because they cannot think critically or are "least thinkers " .The president of the United States of America ,the most powerful country in the world, is a religious person, a Christian .

Does he lack the capacity to think critically ?

Religious beliefs are founded on two major things ,the personal experiences of the believer while practicing the religion ,and what is contain in religious text.

You are focused on the latter, which they don't really hold on strongly to, and hence don't have the correct perspective on things .

There will always come a time in man's life when things go south and all the things one knows no longer work to deal with the situation ,logic and rational thinking fails and one is left confused ,with depression starting to set in.

It's at this point some persons are forced to embrace a religion to bring calm to their minds and not because they lack the capacity to think critically .

So before you start to judge anyone as "least intelligent " because they practice a religion try to understand what exactly it's that has caused them to do what they are doing .

show me where I tagged religious people "least intelligent".

I think that "least thinkers" and "least intelligent" are 2 different things.
The difference between critical thinking and intelligence is that critical thinking is a skill, while intelligence is a trait. Critical thinking is the ability to analyze information and make rational decisions, while intelligence refers to a person's overall mental abilities. So, someone can be very intelligent, but not necessarily a good critical thinker. And vice versa, someone can be a great critical thinker but not particularly intelligent. Does that make sense?

So you can be intelligent but you do not posses critical thinking skill. Religion attract will most likely attract these set of people

Aemmyjah:
Which logic tells any sane person that everything in the universe came from nothing?

if you were logical enough, you will understand that not everyone who thinks that the universe must have come from something is into religion.

paxonel:
are the religious tenets afraid of being questioned?

Because, me i believe.
And critical thinking and logic have helped convinced me to believe.

Religion is based upon dogma - therefore one is encouraged to have faith in the unexaminable.

“Faith”, by definition, is the acceptance of a concept in the face of conflicting evidence or no evidence at all.”

Does that sound like “critical thinking” to you?

Dtruthspeaker:
The same as making a car to run on electricity or water instead of fuel. That is the power of a Creator.

lol

LordReed:
Good so we agree that it is not the level of mental acuity that is deficient amongst the religious.

yes but ability to use their level of mental acuity.
They don't use it too often

SpaceTour:
This wawa ediot , you sleep on this thread everyday but you won’t face your useless Enugu state. This was how you were here everyday until ugwuanyi wasted eight years and left, you have started again while the current governor with his stolen mandate is doing the same thing ugwuanyi did, you wawa people will never put pressure on your leaders to deliver good governance. Bunch of lacklustre illiterate. You think I will allow you guys have your way here.

you are always frustrated and rabid

LordReed:
I disagree with this statement. Religion attracts all sorts including brilliant minds. What is appealing about religion has nothing to do with what level of mental acuity you possess/exercise.

On the average, religious people are more intuitive and less critical thinkers than irreligious people. There's a difference being brilliant and being a critical thinker. Religion with evidence hinders critical thinking and attracts the less thinkers (on thr average)
There are literally several Pew research on this.

smartr:
Owerri safe?

yes

Owerri, Enugu and Ibadan.

Iamanoited:
RELIGION IS THINKING, REASONING, FEELING, COMMUNING , PHILOSOPHY , OMNISCIENT, LOGIC, LAW AND EVERYTHING.

What is the logic behind conception without fertilization in humans?

immortalcrown:
First of all, define religion.

According to Oxford Dictionary: noun. /rɪˈlɪdʒən/ /rɪˈlɪdʒən/ Idioms. [uncountable] the belief in the existence of a god or gods, and the activities that are connected with the worship of them, or in the teachings of a spiritual leader.

Do you have a different definition?

Whether or not you are religious or not, we can all agree that in religion, logic does not really work but belief. You cannot apply critical thinking to explaining religious tenets, else you will start questioning most of them.

This is why religion will almost always attract least thinkers among us. Religion does not like critical thinking, if you apply critical thinking you cannot believe and religion is base on beliefs.

This is not to say that beliefs do not have some personal benefits. Thank you

VinnyBaba:
The World cup was in 2022. Nov-Dec 2022, precisely.😏🙂

FIFA should stop this Madness! 😕😒

I don't think you understand football at all.

VinnyBaba:
Please Erling Haaland should win it.😊😊

How can he Win a Treble of FA, EPL and UEFA champions league (And was Highest Goal Scorer in those competitions)
And not win the Ballon'd

it's a world cup year, it does not work that way even as you want it to work that way.

Nobody can win the Ballon d'or in a year where Messi won the world cup, not even Ronaldo can

LASEPA. Sue them

Moneyyman:
These yahoo boys have friends and smilies; do you become happy when they kill their fellow guys? Or have you no heard cases of guys who escaped ritual death from their yahoo friends?

Stop being stupid! Maybe the girls made poor decisions to date yahoo guys but that doesn't excuse ritual killings! Stop it!

yahoo is a crime, a friend of a yahoo boy is a criminal.
Anybody validating yahoo is a thief and a dangerous person

I can design web.
Html, css, Javascript, react.js

LoveJesus87:
all by urself?

yes

vickydevoka:
You can learn them in 2 months. But consistency makes the difference. If you leave it , it will leave you. That's y most IT guys do tutorial, they are perfecting themselves

you cannot learn it in 2 months.

Let's bee sincere with ourselves.
You need at least 3 months to learn HTML, CSS and Javascript appropriately and even at that, you won't be very proficient.
You need another 1 month to learn frameworks and version control to be employable.

Coding is not really about writing code, is about solving problems and debugging which takes experience gained from many projects to achieve.

LoveJesus87:
how long does it take to learn coding sir

depends on the field.

I learnt html, CSS, Javascript, react, Bootstrap and UI/UX in 6 months.

LoveJesus87:
how long does it take to learn coding sir

depends on the language you want to learn.
