The head of the genome project is Catholic. Even Pascal was a flipping genius and not for Pascal's Wager. He didn't even finish it.

And Newton and Einstein were diests.
Atheists are obsessed because they think everyone has the IQ of Pat Robertson, which isn't true.
The man what thunk up Big Bang was a Catholic Priest.
The man who is the father of Genetics is a Catholic Abbot.

They see increasing intelligence as a way to decrease superstition. on average, the less education a person (in america) has, the more likely they are to believe things the church (or any other group with power, like the North Korean govt) tells them. This isn't inherently bad, though it often ends up that way. It's about gullibility.

The human genome project has nothing to do with religion
Pascal's wager is an argument FOR the existence of god.
What's your point?

For me, it's not about "intelligence" it's about achieving wisdom and higher understanding. Read Plato's Divided Line theory and you'll see what I'm talking about. It's amazing how some people are still "cave dwellers" and can see nothing but shadows and that's what they think is reality. This is what I see when I look at people who follow a "God" that they allow to think for them, rather than thinking for themselves.

To them, the pursuit of intelligence is the highest goal of a human. Why are Christians so obsessed with salvation?

That's like asking why theists are so obsessed with faith. It's the very reason why we believe what we do.
