Many fucking xhristards, OTOH, think the bible is literally true.

See the problem?

Heh, Lemaitre specifically fuck his own pope out of it because the pope tried to make out the big bang proved god. He pretty much came out and said there was no evidence for god.

My guess is the only reason stopping Lemaitre from leaving catholicism was that he'd lose his teaching job at Louvain.

Intelligence is neither a positive or negative. it simply should be views as a measure of indoctrination in a given culture. The word indoctrination should not automatically be judged negatively as well. it simply describes one who has been adopted or assimilated into a given culture. It is the culture that is judged righteous or evil. The fact the even you all automatically judge this culture evil via seeing words like intelligence or indoctrination as inherently being evil speaks volumes.
I don't think you get it. Intelligence is an intrinsical ability.
Smile  where in any definition does it describe intelligence as being an intrinsic ability?

Or better yet does a person at 5 years old hold the same level of intelligence as he wold typically @ 32? If not intelligence is NOT an intrinsic ablity, as anything intrinsic identifies value or worth or naturally occurring value. If intelligence was intrinsic then it would be identified in a 5 year ols

A 5 years old is intelligent , every human beeing is inteligent . Your brain developes over time. Read a book please .

Edit:You are confusing intelligence with knowledge and please don't make statements without knowing what you are talking about.

What notimp said.

Many researchers have defined intelligence differently, but they all boil down to a combination of memory and problem-solving abilities.  
in·tel·li·gence
noun
1. the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

Also repeatedly mentioned in the definitions is:  rational thought and the ability to deal with cognitive complexity.

Intelligence has absolutely nothing to do with indoctrination or education, nothing to do with a surrounding culture or religious dogma - unless these environments replace facts with fairy tales and squash the individual ability for rational analytical thought.

Less intelligent? Probably... More violent, aggressive, bigoted, racist, homophobic and sexist? Definitely!

compared to a 35 year old man?

If you believe this then you lack general intelligence as that was the comparison I made not the straw man bullshit you used to have me read another book.

You don't understand what 'your brain developes over time' means ?
Edit: Also there are cases of genius kids who teached themselfs math at the age of 5 and got a PhD at 21.
10 is the new 35 https://www.google.ro/amp/s/amp.business...es-2012-12. And about the strawman , I refuted the ideea of intelligence not beeing intrinsical, no need to aproach that 5 years old 35 years old , wich I also refuted with this post .

Again not the question I asked oh great creator of straw men and loop holes.. why can't you simply answer the question and senerio I gave? oh, that's right 99999999999 times out of a bazillion times I am correct and you are wrong.

RE: Religious people are less intelligent than atheists
I'll go neuroscience specialy for you. You have a cognitive brain that means that intelligence is an intrinsical ability , you don't find it on the floor of a bathroom.

And I strongmaned your statement because you sayed that if intelligence isn't the same when you are 5 years old or 35 it isn't intrisical. It has nothing to do with the definition. The Raven IQ test proves that intelligence is intrinsical because you are able to predict things without having previous knowledge of the subject.

Do you know what intrinsical is ?
