Nigga , you just shot yourself in the foot cheesy

That means it requires logical thinking and reason to acknowledge the existence of God ( a posteriori knowledge ) while being an atheist means you are primitive and intellectually deficient .

Thanks for confirming that cool
Nice try... But that's silly, again!
It was the primitive man that sought to explain the world around him with his very limited knowledge, hence, god. The enlightened man however is jettisoning the idea of God because of his far superior knowledge.
As someone aptly puts it:
"As knowledge increases, god reduces."

Is it logical to believe the creator of the universe came down to earth to lead a desert tribe against other desert tribes and then impregnate a girl with himself, to be born and later tortured all because a talking snake made another woman eat an apple?
How sane humans believe this poo is beyond comprehension?
And yet you say its logical.
That is religion and easy with the strawman : the above stated is not the Christian faith . Christian theism is a conception of God . Atheism on the other hand is utter foolishness and for the intellectually deficient ones - you confirmed that tongue tongue

From what lennycool said , as logical thinking and reasoning increase , you'll acknowledge the existence of God .



I posted this earlier today :

Speaking of the brain : do you know that greater levels of atheism resulted when the posterior medial frontal cortex which is responsible for logical thinking and reasoning was frazzled ? It actually shows that atheism is as a result of impulses which are caused by the activities in the low road . Same happens when one is distressed or bored or is overwhelmed by stress . When the body is stressed , the brain secretes cortisol to prepare it for crises , plus neropinephrine and at high levels these stress hormones can interfere with the smooth operation of thoughts and reasoning .This then enhances the function of the amygdala and debilitates the prefrontal areas . That means the high road (pre frontal areas ) which is quite slow but accurate , wary and observant will work at a much slower rate - eliciting irrational and illogical thoughts or impulsive decisions .

Little wonder atheists are not good at logical thinking , its all emotions .

1. A universe coming from utter nothingness (Idiotic)
2. The universe creating itself : X creates X (logical absurdity)
3. Infinite universes just to explain why our universe is fine tuned for life
4. Infinite regress of causes which is another impossibility
5. Appreciation of Artificial Intelligence as intelligent design ;repudiation of super complex life and universe as intelligent design

There are so many other illogical reasons atheists give to explain away God .

According to John Lennox , a highly respected professor of Mathematics in Oxford University

You just cannot help involving communism in this discuss can you? We are discussing the Nobel Prize so don't get it twisted.
The fact is that atheists still achieve a lot in spite of their 'insignificant' population
You liar !

Very daft comment as usual cheesy


You were the one that brought up the issue of population and after I've proven to you that the population of the atheists during the era of the communist government was high , you now want to change the topic cheesy cheesy

The Jews were the ones with an insignificant population at that time yet they had 22 percent of the Nobel Laureates .

The atheists were combined with the agnostics , deists , freethinkers etc and they had had just 10 percent despite the mass killing of people who believed in God and their high population at that time.

Pathetic cheesy cheesy

I don't know why u always make me do this...
Scientists are more likely to become atheists than other groups of people. Same for philosophers. In fact the percentage of Christians in science is reducing...
Studies have shown that atheists are on an average more intelligent than Christians. So u mentioning some smart people who are our became Christians doesn't change the fact that the statistical evidence is in favor of atheists being more intelligent.
U have never been able to refute the above even though I keep repeating them everything u bring your lies tongue

An atheist Grizzlybear gave a wonderful response to these foolish assertions

No, atheists don't have higher Iqs than theists, neither are they more intelligent than theists. That's a very foolish and simplistic thing to say.

Atheists don't also know how to think more critically or solve problems better than theists. The distinction however, is that religious belief prevents theists from utilizing the full bandwith of their intellectual capabilities when examining and accessing the contents of their beliefs.

Theists can effectively employ critical thinking and impressive problem solving skills in every other area of their lives, even in the context of appraising other religious beliefs. For instance, christians can critically examine the doctrines of Islamic beliefs and point out the factual errors and absurdities, but when it comes to critically examining their own beliefs, their brain goes blank.

Most atheists were christians before they became atheists, and were devout adherents of their faith. Would you say they had lower Iqs then? I know atheists that are as dumb as a rock, and I know theists that are smarter than I am.

The problem isn't Iqs. The problem is the power of belief, and we all respond differently to it.

Lolz... I've read that comment before. Still doesn't refute the fact that atheists are on an average more intelligent than Christians. It only says that atheism doesn't cause intelligence but intelligence causes atheism. That is, intelligent people are more likely to be atheists. Which I agree with... I never even said atheism causes intelligence but there's definitely a correlation
The point still stands though... Atheists are on an average more intelligent than atheists... Try again tongue

Mensa is an organization for intelligent people yet only 3 percent are atheists grin grin and 49 percent are Christians .

Take your time and study these stats . they prove you wrong

Desperate man
I said neurological processing.
Meaning neurons.
Most animals aren't smart enough to create gods or even form an opinion of self, they have no ability to contemplate meaning, hence no need to rub their ego by thinking that the creator of the universe is at their beck and call.
For at its root, theism is the manifestation of human arrogance.
Atheism on the other hand is the default of all biological creatures.

Lennycool's response actually confirms the research that shows weakening the posterior medial frontal cortex - responsible for logical reasoning- lead to higher levels of atheism. Since the helm of thinking is now handed over to the low road (impulsive thoughts ) then irrational thoughts or knee jerk responses are elicited . grin grin

So you are smarter than me because you are an atheist ?

Then what about atheists that went back to theism , their intelligence dropped immediately ? undecided undecided

Do you guys reason at all or you just regurgitate whatever you read in your dumb atheist sites ?

U are the one not reasoning at all... The claim is simple: atheists are on an average smarter than Christians, for whatever reason. The claim is not that atheism causes intelligence....

Atheism is said to have low retention rate , that means most atheists change to another worldview most likely back to their former religion .So you mean when they revert or change world view , their intelligence drop immediately ?

Since you can't see how idiotic your claims are , that explains why you are making the claim in the first place .

Atheism doesn't make you smarter, bit it does require you to evaluate the information you were given since birth, the more you learn the more information you have, and the more likely you'll be atheistic.
Theirs a correlation between atheism and intelligence.

I'm trying to explain to you that neurons are linked to sentience.
Meaning that most animals do not believe in God because they cannot, because they cannot process the concept of self, hence no need to understand their place in the universe by forming myths that comfort them.
Humans think a lot about themselves and how small they are, hence they create a God who places them above all things, he cares for them so much he created the universe and earth just for them to rule.
Pitiful human arrogance.

That is religiosity and intelligence not atheism and intelligence . There are so many atheists in religion . Steve Jobs and Sir Tim Berners-Lee (founder of WWW ) were religious atheists . There are atheists in Buddhism , Confucianism , Raelism , Wicca , Unitarian Universalism , Jainism .

In fact there are more atheists in religion than there are without religion . And the atheists in religion have low IQs .

Low retention rates in households
Meaning the person was raised by an atheist parent and later dropped it.
But does being raised in an atheistic home make you an atheist?
Atheist don't go to atheist church.
Children aren't indoctrinated into atheism.
So its not true to say they grew up as atheist, rather they had a secular upbringing.

The bible tells us how Yahweh allegedly created the universe. KingEbukasBlog has refused to accept that account. Instead he created his own account and said the one written inside the bile is a misconception. How deluded can one be.

Now h is asking you if the universe has no creator. You don't know buy you know for sure that Yahweh didn't create the universe. According to Yahweh he created a fictitious universe in the bible that isn't our own. A creation account that he himself has refused to accept.
