Religion (Christianity) IS intelligence.
If you have turned your back on God, you aren't being very intelligent
And you are right, what you said doesn't change that fact

I'm not sure if I took the SAT..... I took a placement test though, I did horrible in math because I've always been bad at math, but great at Geometry. I failed a year of algebra and decided to skip it and go right into Geometry and aced it. Science I've never been interested in or good at. History is my passion.
I'm in college now majoring in history and going to specialize in religious history, but I'm not going to get a theology degree or go to a religious school because I want to keep most of my religion to myself.
My GPA so far (going to be a junior in a semester or two) is 3.8 out of 4 and my last class as Koine (New Testament) Greek and I got an A and can translate the entire Greek New Testament on my own now. My next class is Philosophy of Religion, then I have to take a math class and a science class, I am thinking of microbiology because that way maybe I can get a better understanding of what evidence there is for evolution since they did not present any evidence in high school.
My high school gpa was like 2.8.

A person raised in a traditional religious family, never has any chance to be taught otherwise.
Therefore, regardless of the ACT/SAT scores, when it comes to religions, his internal instinct take him over. Intelligence and religion in these folks are independent to each other.
I remember in the 60s, moon landing astronauts actually openly, proudly proclaim how religious they are. They live in two different worlds concurrently.

Well, Church of God. Took PSAT, and they said i did better then 89% of Juniors in South Carolina.... Im a freshman, does that help you, or would my A average?
Anyway: Did you know that they had to dumb down the SAT after they started teaching evolution and stopped religion? Just some interesting facts for you, tiger!
In my opinion when you add religion to knowledge you get the best effect. Peace and remember evolution makes you dumb.
As the Bible says they will be willingly ignorant which means in Greek: Dumb on Purpose.

Well, a lot of high school and college kid know-it-all atheists around here are familiar with their SAT scores, but some who've been around long enough to learn some wisdom have forgotten them. As to whether there's a relationship, yes, there appears to be. Scientists who said whether they believed in God or not (40% said they did) can be examined as to their scientific field. Physicists, astronomers, and chemists were more likely to believe in God than scientists in "soft" sciences such as sociology. Physicists happen as a group to have the highest IQ's of all scientists, with other "hard" scientists at the top with them, and the "soft" scientists as a group have the lowest IQ's.

catholic and 30..
what exactly do you think has been proven already?
if you want opinions, here is mine: intelligent people have the ability to question beyond what they know or are told. it's not unusual for a bright person to challenge authority. but truly intelligent people hold respect for the idea that there might be something out there bigger than we are, to think that we are alone is limiting. and more often than not a simple belief in something, whether it is real or imaginary, is the glue that holds people together. humanity needs something to believe in. far be it for any of us to disabuse this notion from anyone.
a truly wise man knows that he knows nothing.

I'm a Christian.
I got 1330 on my SATs (back when 1600 was the perfect score)
I also Graduated from UC Berkeley with honors and now hold a master's degree as well.
p.s.
one of my best pals (also a Chirstian) got a 1550, is about to graduate from Cal, and just got accepted to Harvard, Duke and Georgetown for law school.
so here's my question...what in the world made you believe there was a connection between religion and intelligence?

I'm not going to post my scores because I don't see a relationship between the two--but I will tell you I am in a PhD program, so I'm a Christian who can hold his own. And one more piece of enlightening information....this service comes with spell check....might want to try it!!
