Excellent. Deftly handled, and I can't *believe* I wasn't already subbed. I find it amusing to consider this study in conjunction with the phrase "second semester Buddhist".

"second semester Buddhist"

Same here. I'm still chuckling.

What we need is a much larger study!!!

"What we need is a much larger study!!!"

So do a whip around of all the YT atheists to fund it. Then the rest of us can laugh as we point out the study must be biased because the YT atheists funded it. :P

I wonder if there is a correlation between the number of cupcakes you have ate and that fat face you have you ugly sob.

You definitely not Christian, but you definitely are fat. Go run you ass around the block and give the mouth a rest.

anyone wanna take bets on when this guy has a massive stroke? No offense.

OK, I believe in microevolution but not macroevolution. Does that make me smarter still?

(My IQ is 138 - Genius Level). Oh I'm a Christian too. So I guess I throw the curve a bit.

BTW IQ can only be tested by Clinical Psychologists. All the rest are not a real IQ test. It is an average of your intelligence (covering many areas) you might be better at maths than visual/spacial etc. but IQ will average these things out for you.

Wisdom is more important. You can have a high IQ but not use it.

I bet that although more then 70% of the population are religious, more then 70% of the students in mathematics or physics programs are agnostics or atheists. psychology and art etc are prob still 70%+ theists.

[rjrrules]

people who are smarter, tend to go toward evolution. i think that iq is not corect. i have an iq of 125(above average)

"I wonder if there might be a correlation between . . ."

That's part of my motivation for saying, "I'd like to see a study done that can be extrapolated to the general public. It would be truly fascinating."

AMEN!(says the agnostic)

[rUTokKIN2ME]

I wonder if there might be a correlation between a natural ability to score well on IQ tests, and the development of arrogance or self conceit, which might result in a higher tendency to reject the notion that humans are designed to relate to their designer, which by default would qualify atheists as simply failed artificial intelligence experiments?? Just a thought. (copied from my response to the original vid)
