Why else would god have made everything appear as if it took millions of years to occur? The Grand Canyon, Volcano's, the movement of tectonic plates, and mountains, for example. People of even average intelligence can tell that it took millions of years for these things to occur. So god must have made it all that way 6000 years ago when he created the earth in 6 days just to trick intelligent people into turning away from him, while the lower intelligence people will look beyond all the proof and blindly believe.

you're making an trouble-free, comprehensible mistake - all learn tutor that a perception in faith, no longer god, correlates with decrease intelligence. Jefferson grew to become right into a deist yet disliked all religions. exceedingly much all scientists pre-twentieth century have been deists of 1 variety or yet another yet no longer inevitably non secular. additionally, the learn you quote are many times from the US the place maximum atheist dad and mom are greater smart knowledgeable than the final guy or woman and are plenty greater probable to have atheist young ones, and greater smart knowledgeable dad and mom correlates with greater intelligence of their babies. non secular faith potential, by potential of definition, which you're prepared to have faith something no longer purely devoid of data, yet even in the face of data to the determination. this is the determination of what we diploma as quickly as we habit an IQ attempt. So a non secular attitude praises and rewards habit that ratings poorly on an IQ attempt. possibly this is the IQ attempt this is improper :)

I'm laughing so hard that I'm not going to answer such a moronic question.You have been brainwashed by factless textbooks.Several years ago a Ford car key was found inside a rock dated at 20 million years old.The Flood caused the reshaping of the earth.I could cite hundreds of examples that disprove evolutionism.But that argument is stale.It is one of the first issues a Christian researches as a Believer.And it is a very easy one at that!

God does not trick anyone. Satan tricks people. Using your logic...perhaps Satan just wants the intelligent people. Why does Satan not want lower intelligence people? Do lower intelligence people know too much?
A lot of highly intelligent folks get involved in cults and other bad things...Are they really intelligent? Are you?

The earth being 6,000 years old is one interpretation of what the Bible says. I'm not sure I see that passage that way.
I think that in 6 days, God set creation in motion. I don't think it all manifested itself in that time.... ie, he told the earth to produce vegetation and animals in one day. It took time for that to actually occur....
that's just my thought.

Time before man is a relative thing.
That does not make Christians "Lower Intelligence people"
But if you need that superiority feeling to make you feel better, go for it.
Peace!

Our spirits are fully knowledgeable when we are born. Our spirits even pray to God with out us being aware of it. Although, we are always in need to learn more and build our spirits since God's Wisdom is unlimited.

people who believe in God are of high intelligence regardless of their formal education level where as people who don't believe in God are fools regardless of how many degrees they have. God can do anything in any amount of time and it is beyond the understanding of us as humans

A bit of a reach wouldn't you say? Are you one of the "intellegent" ones? If you think so... I have some bad news for you...

Must be a wonderful thing, to be spiritually blind. And spiritually ignorant too. I feel sorry for you.
