That could all be total garbage too.
A quick google search does turn up a study that purports to show a fairly strong (r = .59) between intelligence and memory in a sample of 80 third graders with learning disabilities. So... extrapolate from that what you will!
IOW, intelligence is determined more by a large RAM (say 7 trillion terabytes) than by our hard drive.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
