Average IQs of PhD students in a variety of fields |
Quote:https://www.religjournal.com/pdf/ijrr10001.pdf Hilarious. Social scientists are less intelligent. This study was conducted by social scientists. And there are lots of other reasons -- besides foot shooting incidents -- to question this and a variety of other IQ comparison studies outputted by the social sciences over the last decade. The replication crisis, motivated reasoning, the intellectual & moral decline in academic research, etc -- all testify to the frequent unreliability and sloppiness of these human-centered disciplines. Studies comparing religious belief and IQ: According to biopsychologist Nigel Barber, the differences in national IQ are better explained by social, environmental, and wealth conditions than by levels of religiosity. He acknowledges that highly intelligent people have been both religious and nonreligious. He notes that countries with more wealth and better resources tend to have higher levels of non-theists and countries that have less wealth and resources tend to have fewer non-theists [perhaps due to religious beliefs generating hope, optimism, and group fellowship in harsh conditions, a role/purpose that is diminished in richer environments]. |
