one of the most common thing thrown at atheists is - lots of intelligent people believe in god.
this darkmatter 2525's video is an excellent explanation as to why very logical people possess religious belief systems.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y201qzddzbg.
Anyway, like Simon said who cares what intellectual believes in God. It adds no weight to the argument.
According to a survey done (can't remember who or when) of the Royal Insitute there's a hell of a lot more don't believe than there is that believe, less than 5% iirc. And virtually no scientists in the biological fields.

My belief in intelligent design is because it's a lot more logical than spontaneous out of nothing.
Did your God spontaneously come from nothing then? If not then how did he get there? Your 'logicalness' creates a lot more questions than it answers.

uk congregations of jehovah's witnesses[a].
aberaeron.
aberdare.
Just out of nosiness I looked at the accounts of the Chelsea congregation which. it's fair to say must be one of the uk's more affulent congregations.
Notice that last years accounts showed a deficit of 220k - nice little donation to the branch of a quarter of a million!!

he is back home and making god progress.. he has issued an audio statement here....
I understood that "Likes" and "Dislikes" were anonymous. Am a bit disappointed that is not the case.
They are anonymous - it would be better if they weren't though. People should have the courage of their convictions and debate a point nstead of snidely clicking dislike.
i was in a different city this weekend so i decided to natter to 2 bored jws on the apathy trolley.i just nattered, nothing thought provoking or anti witness.
i was waiting for someone so hard time to spare.what struck me was, that no matter how many times i said that i don't believe in god, they spoke to me as if i did.
they kept asking me how god would feel about stuff.
Very true Beth S, and yet back in the day when I was a young Jayhubberdub, myself and many JW's could make a "good fist" of defending our beliefs...
I could never do that - not because I couldn't put a case for it but underneath I struggled because I don't think I believed it myself and felt a bit of a tit for defending it.
back in my teen years this story swept through jw land, that according to, the guinness book of records , freddy franz, was listed as one of the seven, most intelligent , men in the world.
dose anyone else remember this?
i remember trying to look it up, but never found anything in print, and ii point that out once or twice , and was told a co, had told about it, and he wouldn't lie!
