Oh, about 96/100
 But in all seriousness, the 3 tests I've had in the last few years have scored between 146 and 154. And yours?

IQ test's are a poor illustration of someone's intelligence. I've scored over 150 and known far smarter score less.
I think theVoid's intelligence can be seen by how he took apart arguements and statements and is generally an excellent poster.  RE: Attention Theists! Present your best argument for the existence of God!

I salute you Void but that is really a lot of work to go through.
Any problems from the latest earthquake? RE: Attention Theists! Present your best argument for the existence of God!

I'm interested in seeing where the forum theists here are at and if there are any new arguments or forms there of that I've not encountered. God can be personal. Mine is all the forces that I am under and have to submit to, be they from my own doings or those of others. The term "Force" can replace the term God. If there "are" forces that I am under and have to submit to then mine exists. I don't normally use the term God, it's merely an ancient description of something that the ancients didn't understand. Force is also the things one is governed by. There are physical forces and mental forces that bear on one's life. Forces of fate also come into account. Be aware - I am not a Theist, deist, or Atheist. RE: Attention Theists! Present your best argument for the existence of God!

We already have a term for that without the need to drag over the "God" baggage that has spewed out of the mouths of fools and tyrants alike for the last ten thousand years at all.
Just say that you believe you exist in a reality ruled by 'natural law' and drop the bullshit god stuff, it will make life easier for all of us. Thanks.

I'm actually a huge group of cats in a room with wall-to-wall keyboards all connected to one computer - moderated by another such room with cats and keyboards but they're all space and delete buttons. Naturally, the animal shelter is ignorant of our setup in their basement but they're on to the strange, massive catnip purchases we've been trying to hide.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925 Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan RE: Attention Theists! Present your best argument for the existence of God!

It's not a matter of who knows what, it's just quite simply useless to use a loaded term like "God" to talk about some generic idea of being contingent upon some forces in nature - when people hear "God" they don't simply think of gravity, electromagnetism etc, they think of a mind with a personality so dragging the term into the discussion is only ever going to confuse people.
