Atheists 'have higher IQs': Their intelligence 'makes them more likely to dismiss religion as irrati

[JamesBond007]

Do you really think his theory of evolution explains life on earth? Hmm... let's see... please explain to me how a spider's venom "evolved"... ? And how did a spider's ability to create webs with a special sticky substance evolve? I'm truly curious Most people accept evolution without question, but they don't sit and think about things we take for granted... that were created by a glorious God. Don't mock his wonderful creation by saying it merely "evolved" and came out of nothing. Absolute nonsense.

Brohamulous, you are are died-in-the-wool faith head -- so nothing I say -- will change your mind. Therefore, I choose not to argue with you since I find it counter-productive and I don't try to proselytize atheism, generally, speaking.

What about agnostics, like me?

The atheist is a fundamentalist, he has a belief: the non-existence of god, he has no doubt that god does not exist, even though it has not been possible to prove it, and it is impossible to make him doubt the contrary.

I do not see any difference between a religious and an atheist

I see one major difference ... they don't waste time & energy worshiping the gods. And don't get pushed to feel the guilt that religion likes to impose on people (obviously it depends on what kind of religion it is too).

All those people you mentioned lived before Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution. Also, just a heads up math is not a science. Science is inductive and math is deductive.

Reason 4: Religion's incredible shrinking knowledge: About 400 years ago, the Christian religion "knew" everything. It "knew" the earth was flat, "knew" that there were witches, "knew" that animals could be tried for crimes, "knew" that the Bible was the literal word of God, "knew" the difference between right and wrong, "knew" that the difference between man and beast was that only men have "souls", "knew" that the earth was the center of the universe, and so on. Since that time the things that religion "knows" has been shrinking at the speed of light -- or at least the speed of thought. Copernicus showed that the sun was the center of our "universe"; Galileo discovered new worlds; Newton showed that it was physical laws, and not a Godhead, that determined the movement of the planets; and so on. Today, what religion "knows" can be contained in a pinhead, and generally is.

The problem it is not what the Church knew.. but what you know.. because you are the epitome of the ignorance.... like a bingo bongo wild savage in the CONGO FOREST..

What you just said is not false per se but is a non-sequitur or red herring.

just sayin

What you just said is not false per se but is a non-sequitur or red herring.

Why is it a Red Herring?

[Tauromachos]

Most atheists became such through critical thinking, a skill which is apparently elusive to us theists.

Why is it elusive?

If you believe in God don't you believe he gave you a mind and the ability to use it?
