Development is impeeded by their belief in a god who had a son, that was still him, who was then sacrificed because nobody can help the fact that everyone is a sinner.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I would say it's because of inbreeding but....your explanation seems just as plausible. Perhaps they both apply?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

A creationist just dropped by to personally prove the first part of my hypothesis - that he and his kind is dumber than any ape - correct.
Now I just need to kill him in a human way so I can dissect his actual brain to his stupidity is based on mutation of duplicated gene.

You think anyone in the scientific world makes claims without evidence? They have heaps, otherwise they wouldn't think about publishing anything.
I don't see why you would have a problem with accepting things with no evidence, anyway.
