Quote:Yes...I believe in things. What made you think I didn't? An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in gods, not someone who doesn't believe in anything. I don't place myself in an elitist category of "enlightened ones". I say I believe in the Enlightenment, which is perfectly true. What I do say is that the scientific studies have shown a strong negative correlation between religiosity and IQ.
Then there are different types of atheists I suppose or you're in a different category by yourself for as you should know, believing requires an admitting that one not knows for a fact. This is the main argument atheists use against our belief in God or in fact any god.... is it not? If you are admitting belief in something you cannot prove exists then you are a believer same as I. You believe in chance I believe in God...see what I mean?
Quote:Yes I'm curious; there are exceptions to every study of course. I've known very clever people who are Christians, and I've known very stupid people who are atheists. That doesn't stop the studies that show the correlation from being true, just as 80% of Mensa members are atheists, and something like 75% of the National Academy of Science are atheists.
The question is this... how many Mensa's have actually done something beneficial to world history that improves the quality of life for humankind? I submit to you relatively few proportionately in comparison to Christians. Bottom line intelligence and IQ is only part of the equation of wholly integral productively functioning human being... don't you agree?
Quote:Galileo lived over 400 years ago, and our intelligence levels have increased since then. I'd say that quite a few people are more intelligent than Galileo nowadays. He was a genius in his time, but that doesn't make him a genius today.
Do you think a Harvard Grad today is more intelligent than Galileo? Personally I think one of the biggest lies and one of the biggest myths perpetuated by atheists and secularists is that the ancients were ignorant and superstitious and we are so much more advanced and intelligent.
When in fact the average person in the past had a far more grasp on general knowledge than the average person of today.
In the past many many average people had a basic understanding of astronomy, construction, animal husbandry, agriculture, music and arts and crafts. I think a reasonale argument can be made that we may more educated but not necessarily more intelligent.
The average educated person of the past was much more grounded and well rounded than today's graduate for those of the past were fairly well trained in the sciences, the arts, literature and theology. This is indisputable
Quote:Was that ever a myth???
Most assuredly there indeed is....its used to explain our resistance to the THEORY of evolution, in specific MACRO evolution which is a complete crock!

Considering you're an atheist, I have but little regard for that which you consider logical, if you don't mind me saying so.
Anyone who BELIEVES without admitting they BELIEVE is not someone I could respect as one with a firm grasp of reality logic or reason

What the fuck are you talking about? Of course there were Christian literate scientists, and there still are. So are there Muslim science literates, Buddhist science literates, and non science literates. Likewise for the illiterate.
Atheism has nothing to do with science. Neither does religion.
Atheism if you'd be honest has everything to do with a BELIEF in nothing or a BELIEF in not BELIEVING, however you slice it a belief and I will cede you one point.
Atheism has absolutely nothing to do with science because science is based upon knowledge and atheism is not
Thanks
