Adam and Eve's IQ

Adam and Eve's IQ
How smart was Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden?

Does god hold a mentally defective man to the same standards of a intelligent man?

What IQ do you need to have before god sends you to hell for not understanding his requirements?

RE: Adam and Eve's IQ
Adam had spent most of his very short life fucking lots of different animals. I doubt he had enough critical thinking to be adequately judged, even if he had a good IQ.

RE: Adam and Eve's IQ
I think IQ was only invented after the fall, out of necessity because the sabretooths suddenly weren't vegetarian any more.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

I'd like a theist to try and defend this..

RE: Adam and Eve's IQ
You know how they have to raise the curve on an iq test every so many years because each generation is smarter than the previous generation? Dial that back 6,000 years for the creationist and what would constitute an average score back then would have to be equivalent to being able to take a shit without getting it on your leg! Loki saw the thread title and was intrigued. I think the Adam and Eve story is by far one of the stupidest things I've ever heard...

RE: Adam and Eve's IQ
Yeah, right after God approvingly said of His handiwork that it was "Good", he must have looked at Adam
(both God and Adam being much less intelligent than anyone here) and thought-
"Oh well, he didn't turn out so good, but I guess we'll keep him anyway".

Now to brakeman's question:
We have no way of knowing the IQ of those who went before ourselves, except to examine what they built which has remained to our time, much of which we can't do today.

When we look at the Neanderthal skulls we see that we are less robust.
We see the degradation of the gene pool over time (getting bit in the tail by the 2nd Law).

The latest generation always flatters themselves to think we are so much sharper than those dullards who went before us.  A testament to pride always being foolishness.

Nobody ever got sent to hell for lack of understanding.
No one holds mentally deficient people to the same standard as others.
That includes God.

According to the bible, the tree had the knowledge of good and evil so Adam didn't comprehend right and wrong in the way that we do. If there had been a real Adam, he would have been like a very young child.

And a poorly socialized one at that
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

So the story is really about a dirty old man hanging around in a garden, leaving traps around for children in naked adults' bodies to fall into.

It makes more sense now.

RE: Adam and Eve's IQ
Hey now.  I believe the Adam and Eve story completely.  Have you ever talked to a christian?  They've got to be inbred!

(Mindful of the fact that I used to be "christian", we'll say the ones who didn't grow out of it)
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
