One thing tho GT I dont how happy you are but if you believe the earth is 6,000 years old, we lived side by side with Dinosaurs and the Earth is flat then you are as thick as two short planks...

New research suggests the animals from which humans could have emerged were living in the tree tops 85 million years ago, when the dinosaurs still ruled the Earth.
Until now, the widely accepted date was 65 million years ago, about the time when the dinosaurs died out.
But a team of scientists in Britain and the United States has analysed gaps in the fossil record and come up with a new figure, some 20 million years earlier. It means the whole story of primate evolution may have to be rewritten.

What makes the scientist think he above the religious tribesmen?

These guys are awfully clever chaps who did good deeds with their intellect (which might even be the same as intelligence):
Sherlock Holmes - solving crimes and that.

Yeah the converstaion has moved on mate, because the original theme of the thread was obviously nonsense.

I believe in history as foretold by our ancestors. You will die knowing the page you believed in can be re-wriiten, I dont have that problem.

I cant be bothered to go through another religious v Science/agnostic/atheist discussion.
Lets just round it off by saying;
That the article is correct in that religious people are thick. - you can prove this by me alone, I mean I must be thick to believe the Earth is less than 10k years old right?
And that the article is correct non religious such as yourself are far more intelligent - proved by yourself.

Yeah the converstaion has moved on mate, because the original theme of the thread was obviously nonsense.
A review of 63 scientific studies dating back to 1928 has concluded that religious people are less intelligent than non-believers.
Only 10 of the 63 studies showed a positive correlation between intelligence and religiosity.
The paper, entitled The Relation Between Intelligence and Religiosity: A Meta-Analysis and Some Proposed Explanations, was led by Professor Miron Zuckerman of the University of Rochester, and was published in the academic journal Personality and Social Psychology Review on 6 August.
So all the scientists who worked on the 63 scientific studies, and the scientists led by Professor Zuckerman on his meta analysis are all talking nonsense according to James06 of Vital Villa, I would imagine they are all devastated by this revelation, so many people wasting so much of their life :21: truly sad.

But this is the argument about how we judge intelligence. Is the deeply religious fisherman who lives in the mud hut in Africa less intelligent than the wall street stockbroker because he was never taught how to read and write? According to the 'scientists' probably, but he has less stress, he spends more time relaxed and he'll probably die a happier man. Poorer places, with less investment into academia tend to have stronger faiths (Asia, south America, Africa) that doesn't mean they are less intelligent.
