    Where on earth did you attend Holy Communion?

    None of the above happens at my church.

    Paris: Of the highest IQ's in the scientific community, people in advanced hard sciences, like math and physics, 7% of this tiny group are believers

    This means 93% are not believers.

    Failed argument, Paris.

    Paris: DJS and Shirley - You are both determined to

    (1) Be Right, no matter what. ( how very JW of you )

    (2) Denigrate any believer as not as "smart or well educated" as you are.

    Failed on both claims. I neither said nor implied either of your ridiculous assertions.

    Paris,

    Ditto to ADCMS,

    All we are doing is refuting dumbass statements made by theists. Of course there are a lot of very intelligent theists and a lot of stupid atheists. We continue to cite very good empirical data which illustrate strong correlations. Nothing more. As I have done everytime, the data suggests strong correlations, not direct correlations or cause/effect.

    If you could read you would understand that. I will stop posting this kind of material when you and the other theists stop making dumb-ass definitive statements which have absolutely no basis in fact.

    If you have a problem with the individuals who conduct theses studies or the methodologies they employ to synthesize the data and draw conclusions or findings from it, then I suggest you spend your time dismantling it instead of posting tepid, immature attacks on those posting the data. Otherwise, the best option for you - and those like you - would be to show some X-tian humility and aviod the keyboard. Or not. The more you and those like you spew nonsense the more you validate the research. I will repeat: A LOT of theists are very intelligent, and a lot of atheists are morons. The data suggests strong correlations.

    You stop and I will stop. It's simple.

    I don't make dumbass comments. You are making enemies where once you had friends. Not a smart move. Join the Politburo.

    BOTR,

    If the shoe doesn't fit you don't wear it. I am not of course talking about all those responding to these types of OPs and comments, only those making the definitive and wrong statements. I respect and like you and your comments. You and I have been on the same side on many OPs. All I am asking of you is that you use some of the fair mindedness and toughness in this matter that you show when dealing with legal matters and those showing a rush to judgment against others unfairly.

    Definitive statements made without regard to the actual facts is dumbassedness, regardless of who it is. I don't put you in that category.

    I think that fits within the definition of "dumbass comment".

    I doubt her statistics anyway. From the research I've done, it's a much higher percentage of theists or deists than 7%. Many scientists are so blown away by the complexities and marvel of our material world, that it moves them to belief in some kind of deity. I know my oceangrapher/inventor dad said similar things about the world and God. He had friends who were geologists and from other fields of science. I can remember them discussing atheism. None of them were atheists. They felt the world was too amazing for there to be no god involved somewhere.

    Please enlighten us with your "research".

    Or, do anecdotal observations from your dad and his buddies, such as "they felt", count as hard evidence?
