How do you explain theists with high IQs then?
- Yizahi 9y agoFirst of all IQ is commonly known to be a flawed metric, but more or less acceptable for many uses. Second - they are either outliers statistically or not really high IQ in the area of scientific methodology (which is incompatible with basic religion). People can know a lot and believe blindly in god-entity, people can do very hard calculus and believe. People can't do real scientific research about universe and blindly believe. They may use vague terminology about god-entity specifically because it is a clever concept that can't ever be disproven but really it is just a 3rd rate issue in large scale of things. Anyone claiming to be a theist and a scientist most likely never bothered to think about his "theism" much.
