As long as you don't consider the Bible to be the "word of God", and that anything written therein is to be taken at face value.

Lynn pointed out that most children do believe in God, but as their intelligence develops they tend to have doubts or reject religion. Similarly, as average IQ in Western societies increased throught the 20th century, so did rates of atheism, he said. If an IQ test does what it truly is supposed to do then the average IQ should not rise with time. A true IQ test should be education independent. If the test is not education independent then it's not truly an IQ test, it's an achievement test.

Also I find it difficult to believe that believers among academics are only in the single digits in the US. I've taught at two US universities, and my general impression is that statement is not likely to be true.

Of course. The "Big Bang", gave them their abilities to process that calling.. Ditto mechanics. Retail clerks. On and on.

If you bother to read, it usually does.

**** off. I've read your piece of **** bible already. Front to back (something I suspect you haven't done).

The movies are always good. Bible stories make good movies (as do LOTR and Greek myths) but the idea that you don't believe in god because you haven't read the bible is just plain stupid.

so concerned with proof... Blessed is he who believes without seeing, for he is truly blessed. If calling people on their baseless creation myths makes me stupid so be it.

Can I have my 2 minutes back, Mark?

Wealthy are those who give me all their money, for they are truly wealthy.

Any takers?
