was just trolling, there isnt really a correlation.


this is the one posted on wikipedia (there's hundreds of studies about it) but wikipedia is the most trustworthy so here



patiently waiting till someone will point out to me there's no correlation.

[bing bang blaow]

yeah..so I open this wikipedia link..scroll down to references..open random link...
this comes up.............

i read a little bit..........

The study is based on a survey made among 7,000 people in the U.S., the so-called National Longitudinal Study of Youth. It contains intelligence tests on a representative selection of the American youth, where they have also replied to questions about religious belief.

and think to myself "lol sample size"

[asrael]

7000 is huge ( statistically )

Though still i tend to think to myself:"Lol intelligence". They still base these on subjective tests, no ?

Anyways, it's still just a correlation and it doesn't prove a thing

Wikipedia most trustworthy? If you would've come up with a systematic review of some RCTs I would immediately buy it, wikipedia no.

haha my friend is wikiterrorist he's former president of finland and stuff xd

[snugg]

so its not like its because of believing in god people come with lower iq,

ive never said so either but haters be hatin' i guess. All i said was that the correlation is there and its undeniable. but lets change the topic, shits getting old, i keep saying theres a correlation and haters keep hatin' saying there's no cause and effect in that. that's true but irrelevant to my point.

Richard, thats the first I hear about wikipedia not being reliable? Usually their information is pretty objective and detailed

[maniman]

dont hate but elevate.. no i dont like to see youre brains splattered on the floor snugg nor i hate you, like to see you dead or thinking youre retarded eventhough the many times you misjudged me i should but its funny to me you think im like that. so yeah i just wanted to let you know because you seem to think that ahaha

[Yankowich]

What's this "lol Wikipedia it must be crap" stuff?

Check the references first, then start thinking of how reliable the article is.

[duman]

or you could accept that you affect your own life and you determine your own future...

even in religions you are supposed to do so, amex fcked up ur brain

if u would believe in god, u would also believe that he would easily change your life or whatsoever
because you are scared shitless even thinkin about something that could control your life, you choose to not believe and shout out that youre to smart to believe in something

which God do you believe in ?

[scatman]

Because having faith, as we all know, your movements and thoughts would be controlled by invisible fishing strings that are attached to the sky

YE!

lmao i can change my life if i want I'm my own man. im scared? umm you are scared to assume responsibility of your own life and instead associate it with a higher power that you cant control "omg my life is in someone else's hands"... LOL

you are speaking alot of bs... i dont believe in god because its not logical to do so not because i am afraid of there being a god....

and yea wikipedia isnt really the best thing to get info like this from theres a reason that universities (here atleast) dont let you use any info from it

You should link to the article then, not to wikipedia. Wikipedia can contain false info.

[Kenshin-Horus]

Maybe there should've been a post at the start saying that wikipedia isnt aloud to be used to backup ones logical arguement.

[VARIMR]

basically 2 and a half year what I have studied in university of applied sciences, I'we used half of material in my works from wikipedia, even it isnt allowed for us hihi

[Rait]

well he has info, who are you to tell that wikipedia contains false info.
He actually bothered to search something but all you're saying is that wikipedia is false.


therefore no actual talk can be made if some people think that the acquired infromation is false.
thats why i never actually talk along serious topics, because each certain topic has several ways to understand it.
many people just don't agree to view other persons points and then we dont have a proper discussion...

BACK TO THE CIRCLE YO.

no offence people yo.

that's not something to be proud of
