Nice one sir . See how they are desperately trying to undermine his intelligence and IQ tests. If these was an atheist , they would open numerous threads and call us to come and see .

Very very pathetic . Anyway , It does not stop Christians and theists from being incredibly smart people though .

His IQ has been measured at 195[2] (although, at such high levels, IQ tests are highly unreliable) and he also claims to have scored a perfect SAT score while taking a nap during the test.[3] He's employed as a bar bouncer.[1]

Have you read his theory of Everything called the CTMU?

butterflyl1on:


He did not talk about hybridization as a word but as a qualification of creation and evolution. You no get sense I swear down.

So explain this hybridization of creation and evolution that brought about special creation.

At least try and show that you saw the four walls of any school even if it is evening school alone.

Tozara:
Lol. I believe you to be intellectually penurious and materially destitute, so giving the prize to the winner of this challenge would be a CHALLENGE even for you. Because:

1. You do not have the intellectual muscles to perceive rationality, even when it's leading a band before you and performing the music of reason. So, how can you know whether someone has crushed your challenges or not?

2. I don't think you can afford the prize for crushing your arguments that are as weak and watery as your *****, so this is nothing but an avenue for entertaining yourself because you're bored.

CONCLUSION: Gerrarahere, Ebuka. And go and preach the Gospel to the gullible.

Ok oo. Whenever you are ready sha

You wicked o. Choi.

Do not expect any one of them to come anywhere near this thread unless they wish to drink arsenic out of frustration. Not a single one of them can take on this challenge with any shred of hope of winning.

The only dummy I know who is dumb enough to attempt this is Jackbizzle aka dumbbizzle

New level of attention seeking

Like Otem shey ?

nightingalee:
An average atheist have covered more books than the vibrant christian; Christians don't read, they seem satisfied with the little they know, bunch of 'Incurious' people. Consistent with their belief system, over time they become close-minded and dogmatic. You see why atheists feel superior in terms of intelligence. Plus, I've never met an unintelligent atheist.

I have met many unintelligent atheists and that includes you .

dalaman:


Have you read the book?





You spoke about creationism and evolution and even explained that special creation is the hybridization of creationism and evolution. If all you do is regurgitate what you see online without knowing what they mean then I won't waste my time with you. Go and understand what you are saying before engaging me.

Lol . You are actually not going to defend your claim eh ?

Very shameful !

Tangible rewards like money can destroy creativity ; so if money is the source of motivation for them to participate, we could be seeing pretty poor arguments.

dammyloye:
coming, this is not an exam....it's an argument, normally I would drop points but what ever I say to you will be null because you are a religionist.
you also can't show proof of a God's existence

Please the information you need is in the OP . Kindly accept the challenge and present your reason , argument , evidence against God's existence.

dalaman:


I haven't, have you read it?

You are the one seeking for his proof not me .

You don start with you lie lie abi? Here is what you wrote earlier.



You still don't know what a creationist is abi? What about an evolutionist? Do you know who an evolutionist is?

How does this mean I know who a creationist is ? I could have regurgitated whatever I saw online

dammyloye:
coming

ok bro

dalaman:


Have you read his book?

Have you read his book ?

From the bible we can confidefinitely say that Jesus was a creationist and NOT an evolutionist.

I don't know who a creationist is . So when you show me from the bible , explain how it makes Jesus a creationist not an evolutionist

There are two challenges that have to be overcome before you can win 100,000 naira . Christmas day is around the corner and with the rate of increase in the prices of consumer goods , 100k to spare isn't a bad idea .

The rules are simple , the challenges may be simple or difficult (totally depends on your intellect ) . Here they are :

1. Provide one good argument ,reason or evidence that precludes the existence of God i.e your argument , reason or evidence makes it impossible for God to exist .

2. Refute my new definition of atheism . Click here for info .

Note that :

* The definition of God here is the separate conscious eternal entity that transcends the universe.

* Each overcome challenge nets you 50k naira (on the first 24 hours ).

* This runs for 120 hours ( ends on exactly 2:52 on December 24. 2017)

* At the end of every 24 hours , 10,000 naira will be deducted on each challenge . Eg

After 24 hours , challenge 1 and 2 will be 40k each
After 48 hours , challenge 1 and 2 will be 30k each
.
.
.
Between 96th and 120th hour , challenge 1 and 2 will be 10k each

Rules

1. You MUST take on the first challenge and succeed before moving onto the second . I have to concede that I can't refute your argument , reason or evidence in the first challenge

2. If you succeed in overcoming the first challenge you may not take on the second challenge .

3. Any argument that has been refuted before on this forum SHOULD NOT be mentioned . It is utterly gratuitous to reiterate debunked arguments .

4. Your argument , reason , evidence should well presented , sound and cogent .
It should show how it precludes the existence of God

5. If you are interested in participating , please begin with 'challenge accepted' and then proceed with your argument .

Goodluck !

** Questions to elucidate on what to note or the rules can be asked for clarity .

Martinez19:
I will end it o. I can't permit religion in my household.

You can't permit religion in your household but you want the owner of a company to permit atheism in his company ? Since you are a bigot as you have clearly shown , don't cry foul when someone else displays bigotry of the same kind .

dalaman:


Have you read the book?

You wanted evidence or reasons for his claim , they are in his book . So have you read his book ?

Jesus was a creationist according to his views from the bible.

Wawu

ScienceWatch:
No person that smart can ever entertain Atheism as a way of life.
Just search Nairaland, Atheists have childish topics like, WHY DO GOD HAVE ANGELS.

And ask questions like 'is Jesus a creationist or evolutionist' ?

dalaman:


I am asking you. You aren't the only person that can ask questions. Who is a creationist, and what is the difference btw a creationist and an evolutionist?

Why are you asking this question ? When you asked me if Christ was an evolutionist or creationist , what did you think the terms meant ?

Always messing himself about with his dopey eyed responses which show his lack of depth or even an ability to deeply reflect on anything before replying. Just type and post

nightingalee:
There are many supremely smart people out there, you don't know them because they haven't gained this same level of recognition.

True . And I can bet 95 percent of them are Christians and theists .

Very very few atheists have high IQs .

Even the greatest minds in the past accepted that God exists . Plato , Einstein , Isaac Newton , George Berkeley etc showed disdain for atheism

Its only modern atheism that is desperately trying hard to associate intelligence with atheism - it has never been so since ab initio mundi .

Squillaci:


And again you are yet to prove he has an IQ of 210.

I don't need to prove anything . There are credible sources that have revealed his IQ . You can go and argue with them

butterflyl1on:

He has already taken your bait

The guy is just too easy . He sure does not look before he leaps

OLAADEGBU:


But is he still alive? I'll have to find out. He is actually a teenager!

Oh wow . I just checked him out and it is indeed true . But I think IQ tests for teenagers are not as difficult as the ones for adult . And don't forget , Chris is an adult and there are suggestions that his IQ is actually higher than 210 .

I also read that Kamal wants to use his intelligence to spread the gospel . Chris says he uses his to prove God's existence . Very interesting !

felixomor:


Don't mind Dumbizzle
The guy is pained that these high IQs dont belong to atheists.

If it was for an atheist, he will go open threads on it.

Don't mind him . See how all of them are fighting so hard to make it seem like IQs are no longer used to measure intelligence again simply because we theists have people on the very high side .

Pathetic !!

ScienceWatch:
Correct Sir. These Low-level unregistered non fee paying Atheists will never understand even if you toil hard to over simplify to enlighten them.
Your observations are striking and extremely accurate.

It is extremely rude of this Low-level Atheist Martinez19 to invite you to his kindergarten topic on angels. I may be wrong, but I think this topic was meant to be about chickens.

lol @ low-level atheist

This kind of question is what children should ask . I mean 'why does God need angels' shouldn't be asked by a grown man

Squillaci:

And I am telling you that the test he took that made him "one of the smartest men on earth" is the mega test. And of the americans who took the tests he wasn't the highest, not even close.
No valid IQ test can determine the smartest man in America as it would need a norm the size of the american population. The norm sample do not have an IQ based on the test so....

Dude , all these are unnecessary . The IQ of an average individual is about 100 , some are lower . Grad students et al is about 120 . If Christopher Langan is about 210 or even higher and no recorded individual is above then logically he is the smartest . Its that simple .

OLAADEGBU:


But is he still alive? I'll have to find out. He is actually a teenager!

Yeah he is still alive . In his 60s . I think Chris Langan is the smartest because his IQ is believed to be higher than the estimate

DeSepiero:



Hello Ebuka, your title is misleading!!

I watched the entire clip and NOWHERE was it mentioned that he's a 'Christian'.

If there is, please draw my attention to it.
At best, he's a kind of theist. He never mentioned or stated a firm belief in Jesus Christ as lord and personal savior; how do you conclude that he's a Christian?

While reading about him , I learnt that he is a Christian . Because it is not stated in the video does not mean he isnt a Christian .

Squillaci:

In the "IQ test" he took he scored 37/48 in his 1st try, 41/48 in 2nd attempt, and 45/48 in his last attempt.
Marilyn vos savant scored 46/48 in her only attempt, and Rick Rosner(an american) scored 48/48.
So by the mega test, he is no where near the smartest person in America let alone the whole world.
BTW, no valid IQ test has only 48 questions.

Here is the logical conclusion from your statement : Since no valid IQ test has only 48 questions , then then the mega test is not a valid IQ test therefore Rick Rosner who is purported to have scored 48/48 is not the smartest person in America -meaning that Christopher Langan must have taken a valid IQ test that does make him the smartest person in America but it is not the mega test .
