Search "the intelligence-religiosity nexus" on Google for one well-known study, and also take a look at the Wikipedia article for religiosity vs. intelligence, which cites a number of other studies (and includes links so you can read them in more detail) which came to the same conclusion.
Obviously not every person of high IQ is a scientist, haha. However, every member of the NAS does have a high IQ. It is a good example of a collection of very intelligent people, which is why the study used them (and the fact that they are scientists makes them more knowledgeable about the natural and physical world). There are also studies, however, which show that atheists do, on average, have IQs significantly higher than those of believers.
But what you're saying doesn't make sense, because in the general public, "people of faith" are a tremendous majority. Therefore, being a scientist and very intelligent makes you drastically more likely to not believe in a god. The study did not indicate whether the scientists were raised to be religious. Even if they weren't, that would imply that being raised atheist makes you more likely to be intelligent and a good scientist, which doesn't make much sense, lol. It's vice versa.
Let's let the facts speak for themselves: 8% of the general American public does not believe in God. That is a small minority. Now, among members of the National Academy of Sciences, an organization of some of the most accomplished scientists in the country, and frankly, people who know the most about how our world really works, 93% do not believe in God. That is hardly a dismissable coincidence. In the UK's Royal Society, a similar organization, this figure is 96.7%.
And what makes you say that life "looks like design"? I've never seen a human design anything that even comes close to the complexity of a living organism. I would say that such systems are so complex that they imply a blind randomness rather than intentional design, because they have far too many parts to plan out.
i can tell you that the sun and planets in the solar system were created by gravity not some magical homo sapien crafting them with his hands in 7 days.
i might understand why some scientists 400 years ago might be agnostic or religious nuts because there was still much which had not been discovered. but to be superstitious in the modern world is to be delusional. which is why 91% of scientists living today are atheist.
an ignorance of science allows a person to be superstitious. and that ignorance indicates low iq.
but worse than being ignorant are the people who are educated about science and ignore it to cling to delusions
the entire christian church tried to maintain the status quo of culture in order to minimize potential social chaos which could threaten the ruling elite's control.
scientists who believe in any religions are delusional because they are ignoring all the science which contradicts the superstition of religion.
christianity is an institution created consolidate and maintain power and to preserve the status quo of culture created by and serving the ruling class. repression of human rights of black people was part of the status quo.
morons would rather believe lone nut propaganda rather than consider the possibility that leaders are assasinated if they try to rock the boat. jfk was assasinated for the same reason martin luther king was, attempting to disempower powerful people.
your biblical dogma is not evidence, it is fairy tales. maybe i should reference the old norse tales of thor and odin as "evidence" for insane theories.
you primitive superstitious delusional cro-magnons are a menace to this planet and the evolved rational homo sapiens should sterilize you to limit the damage you cause in the future.
the term "jesus freaks" is not a cheap ploy or cop out it is an accurate description, you think a jewish dude who lived 2000 years ago rules the universe and that delusional insanity is what makes you freaks.
studies have shown that the iq's of athiests are significantly higher than jesus freaks. that is why both groups are what they are.
the idea of an intelligent designer is about as defensible a position as that of an easter bunny or santa clause.
martin luther king went against christianity. christianity was ineffective in maintaining the status quo in relation to racial equality so the elite establishment had to outright assasinate him. there are multiple levels of social control and if they fail the elite has to sometimes get desperate and assasinate. jfk threatened to abolish the federal reserve which would have reversed the 200 year trend of consolidating power into the wealthy elite via banking, so they whacked him.
if you arent aware that christianity has fought scientific discovery since it's inception then you are beyond stupid. one of the reasons the wealthy roman elite created christianity was to prevent scientific discovery which they considered a destabalizing threat to their power. there has been a direct correlation between access to information by the masses/scientific progress with more social equality. christianity stalled it but then usury reversed this socio economic equality.
Firstly, I am an atheist with an average IQ (an assumption though, never took an actual iq test). I really think you should read couple of history books; some of the world's greatest minds from past to present had religious beliefs. Also, there are some really dumb atheist...
humans are animals. we are primates just like chimpanzees. its ironic that the less intelligent humans who are superstitious jesus freaks refuse to believe they are animals whereas the more evolved higher iq humans realize they are animals and that the bible is a book of superstition. its so ironic.
@signboyy What an idiot. I would say a Christian doctor or surgeon or teacher would be more intelligent than a retard like you. Just because you don't believe in God, it doesn't make you more intelligent than somebody who does. I mean, you're a perfect example. You don't believe in God and you're a fucking idiot.
to believe in 2000 year old provincial jewish fairy tales after all of our scientific discovers either means a person is uneducated or delusional
christian professionals like doctors or lawyers are not necessarily intelligent it just means they worked hard to get their degrees. but since they would have been subjected to science in pursuit of their degrees and they are still christian then it means they are delusional and simply chose to ignore what they learned.
