      There are also differently written Bibles. Many simplify the writing into modern language. Just another thing an atheist wouldn't realize.

          I'm not comparing or slighting any version of any faith. Only pointing out to those that bring up points that they consider relevant are already answered.

            As long as you don't consider the Bible to be the "word of God", and that anything written therein is to be taken at face value.

              You believe what you want, and don't dictate to me.

                Lynn pointed out that most children do believe in God, but as their intelligence develops they tend to have doubts or reject religion. Similarly, as average IQ in Western societies increased throught the 20th century, so did rates of atheism, he said.
                If an IQ test does what it truly is supposed to do then the average IQ should not rise with time. A true IQ test should be education independent. If the test is not education independent then it's not truly an IQ test, it's an achievement test.

                Also I find it difficult to believe that believers among academics are only in the single digits in the US. I've taught at two US universities, and my general impression is that statement is not likely to be true.

                  It's wrong. It is the prestigious National Academy where it is ~7%. Among the scientists as a whole it is ~40%. The issue is that those who are at the top of their fields seem to think that they don't need God.

                        If you bother to read, it usually does.

                          So says Ben Stein and his parrot, Ben Kenobi. This is what Richard Dawkins actually says about that interview at his website:

                          The conclusion I was heading towards was that, even in the highly unlikely event that some such 'Directed Panspermia' was responsible for designing life on this planet, the alien beings would THEMSELVES have to have evolved, if not by Darwinian selection, by some equivalent 'crane' (to quote Dan Dennett).

                          The problem with the Dawkins' explanation is who made the aliens?
                          Just STFU, Ben(s). You have satiated my all-consuming desire for "evidence" - God did make you stupid.

                                I'll say this politely.

                                **** off. I've read your piece of **** bible already. Front to back (something I suspect you haven't done).
