[QUOTE=Jacob11;501724]True, but Joos are also supposed to kill homos (they have Leviticus in their "torah" too; I think they copied it from us )QUOTE]

you do realize that judaism is older than christianity. the torah is the first five books in the bible. in fact christianity is based on judaism. jesus was a jew. did you even read the bible. you should realy look more into the history of your religion. mabye you will learn something about what you worship.

Re: Harvard study - average IQ by religion

Muslim- 92
Christian- 98
Pagan- 98
Hindu- 104
Buddhist- 108
Jew- 115
Atheist- 119

What do you think? Is it really probably that joos, athians, etc. are smarter than us? Personally, I think this is all a load of crap. Anyone who can't accept the LORD Jesus is obviously quite stupid.

Hi, sorry to bring up an old post, I came across this on a search engine saw some dodgy replies & thought I'd bring up a more reliable study than the one in the OP which seems a bit biased and exagerated, also comes with an explanation of the results.

Study

In 2008, intelligence researcher Helmuth Nyborg examined whether IQ relates to denomination and income, using representative data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth, which includes intelligence tests on a representative selection of white American youth, where they have also replied to questions about religious belief. His results, published in the scientific journal Intelligence demonstrated that on average, Atheists scored 1.95 IQ points higher than Agnostics, 3.82 points higher than Liberal persuasions, and 5.89 IQ points higher than Dogmatic persuasions.

Helmuth concludes from this that:
"I'm not saying that believing in God makes you dumber. My hypothesis is that people with a low intelligence are more easily drawn toward religions, which give answers that are certain, while people with a high intelligence are more skeptical," says the professor.

I can assure you my IK was off the scale!

Re: Harvard study - average IQ by religion

INtellegence has nthign to do with religion. Just people with a higher IQ can see (supposedly) more logically. May I ask what your IQs are?

Mine is extremely high, actually above standard charts so I have no exact number to give you. Thou I must clarify this a bit. As I currently still live in Finland, the IQ-charts for the most extreme and sophisticated tests available here, end at 160, so it´s really not a big deal to be a supergenius here (although I´m the only one to surpass the 160 mark).

To avoid looking like an arrogant genius to other eskimos IRL, I always answer to their inquirys about my IQ, simply by saying "I don´t use any sorts of instant messaging-software."

God made me this smart and for that I´m thankful.

Re: Harvard study - average IQ by religion

All this talk of "IQ" amounts to little more than mental masturbation. How much good are all those "IQ" points going to do you when you're burning in eternal hellfire? If our LORD didn't learn letters, then neither do we!

John 7:14-16
Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

There is nothing worth knowing outside of what is in the Holy Bible (KJV 1611). God left complete Instructions for us, and who are we to look elsewhere for answers? These "IQ" tests are biased toward people who look outside the Bible for guidance, and as such, they are to be disregarded.

This is yet one more example of how we, Jesus' elect, endure persecution on a daily basis.

Re: Harvard study - average IQ by religion

What atheists do not realize that their high IQ scores are only of a temporal nature, as Jesus is going to reset them to zero when He returns:

1 Corinthians 1:19:
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

Re: Harvard study - average IQ by religion

I haven't seen the study

ringworm ought to do some homework

Many potential-based tests are also norm-referenced. When a standardized test is normed, it means that it was initially administered to a large number of children, usually in the thousands. Ideally, this norm group is characteristic of the children who ultimately will be taking the standardized instrument.

Re: Harvard study - average IQ by religion

This is beating a dead horse, but this kind of study has never been done in Harvard. Results are fake as are many other similar "results" found in the Internet. Originally this fake was said to be IQ in states by religion.

Anyway, you can see from the numbers that it is impossible. Average IQ in states is about 98 and there are lot less muslims that others claimed to have better IQ than 100. So the numbers are bs.

Even if we consider this to be world rating, the numbers do not match. Remember, average person is rated 100, IQ is always relative to that. Also the considering the deviation and number of people representing each religion, those IQ numbers are impossible.

Summa summarum as catlic latin speaking heathen would say, these numbers are just some "fact" that is used by either atheist or joos to troll.

There has been other studies in states where they have studied intelligence and religion and there has been negative correlation toward religion. But to understand the results, you need to understand the backgound of the people studied. Like the fact is that catlics and negros (who are highly religious) have lower IQ that will drag down the IQ of True Christians.

Also same of theses studies are made among the university students and how many True Christians would really attend non Christian university. And there also are those "students" that play basket ball...guess what they do to the average IQ...

Sorry again my text. These pills I got after operation are really making me weird, even the whisky I drank tested like petrol after the pills.

Re: Harvard study - average IQ by religion

Hahaha you can never have a high IQ if you just read the bible, intelligence is based on math, reading, writing...and honestly there is no trig or calc in the bible, there are no hard words in the bible to increase your brain capacity...and the writing? I didn't know that using the words "ye","o'er", etc. were considered proper Atheists on the other hand use rational thinking, and actually pay attention in school lol...knowledge of the bible definitely doesn't give you a higher IQ, it obviously lowers it.

You might be too stupid to understand this, but I will try anyway. I cannot help being a nice and helpful person.

The I in IQ stands for intelligence. It is something you are born with. Doing math will not increase your IQ. Proper certified IQ tests do not even contain math.

Let me show an example IQ test question to demonstrate this:


As you can see there are no numbers or reading involved here.

Lol that's all in your bible so thanks for saying the bible is improper linguistics I love you guys you make me happy everyday

And to you cranky, times have changed this isn't 1923 anymore whenever you do intelligence testing there is always math, reading, writing etc...so just be happy the poll said your IQ was even that high, because frankly that's being generous.

Re: Harvard study - average IQ by religion

One thing we can take heart from in the IQ study is this. It is temporary.

It is temporary because the atheists include a lot of homers. Since homers do not reproduce, we can all see the outcome--no little homers, or atheists.

As always, True Christians ™ will prevail.

You are clearly mixing up IQ tests with assessments. Your IQ is probably too low to realize this so I am going to give up on you now.
