These are the people who have the guts to question just about everything and I believe this is one of the reasons why they tend to have a higher IQ as compared to the rest. <a href="https://www.thesis-dissertationwritingservices.com/78-analysis-help/projects-help/1378-cheap" rel="nofollow">Original Qualitative Project Help</a>Newton Moseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05575066895199372762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-24457527584062041312010-03-02T15:11:26.445-08:002010-03-02T15:11:26.445-08:00To answer Ben's question one has to know the m...To answer Ben's question one has to know the meaning of intelligence and atheism. Intelligence is somewhat inborn and acquired - nature and nurture.<br />Atheism like any other form of 'belief' is either you just simply believe (by faith) or by reality or there is reason to believe.<br />As an example: you are looking for halal food. You go to a joint which states 'no pork or lard'. Your belief that the food is halal could be by faith or by reality check (where you asked to see halal certification).<br />It is most likely that one is an atheist by some reasoning or reality check and not by faith. To perform reasoning (fairly complex) would require intelligence.<br />Therefore, people are atheists because they are intelligent. If it is the other way round, we would have an intelligent society by simply asking people to believe in ‘athesim’!aah-haahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018252160335014110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-88984227508949901132010-03-01T07:57:27.655-08:002010-03-01T07:57:27.655-08:00The questions is: Are people more intelligent beca...The questions is: Are people more intelligent because they are atheist, or are they atheists because they are intelligent?Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01255460971035567058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-75128616018862259942010-03-01T02:45:16.304-08:002010-03-01T02:45:16.304-08:00Thank you for the reference - a very interesting p...Thank you for the reference - a very interesting piece of research.
