If this study were true, you would expect all of the geniuses throughout history to have been atheists. Instead up until the last century, almost none of them were. Did people suddenly get more intelligent? Or is it just that science ostracizes any of their group that professes to be religious, leaving mostly atheists?Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

Originally posted by Sparko View PostI understand. But if their conclusion is true, it would show up in the smartest group of people across history. If it only works with average people in today's population, then it means nothing. the thesis is that more intelligent people don't believe in God. I checked that by looking at the smartest people. They believed in God. Why would it only work in today's society in an average population and not throughout history? People are not smarter or dumber today than yesteryear. Are you a chronosnob?
I believe the human race is getting weaker and dumber.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House.

I don't think we have the capacity to be as intelligent as the ancients.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies.

We're probably only a few generations away from being able to genetically modify everyone to make them smarter. That will hopefully solve the people becoming stupider problem.Find my speling strange? I'm trying this out: Simplified Speling. Feel free to join me.
