Japanese, Chinese and Jews are said to be the smartest people or with the highest level of education in the world. They question evolution more than people in USA do.
So, what make you think that you are smarter because you think "evolution is right"?
Are then Japanese, Jews ad Chinese less smart than American just for the fact that they question evolution?

Source?
Can you supply a source for that claim, or should we assume that you're simply lying? I'm betting it was just a lie - I'll take that back if/when you supply a source supporting that claim.
In fact the more education a person has, the more likely it is that person believes in evolution rather than in creationism.

I agree with the others that you can't throw out something like that and not back it up. Cite some sources or it is not just worthless, but harmful to your cause, whatever that is. However, I am fascinated by how people become incensed when you question their belief system. Not everyone does, of course, but many, many do. And yes I include all of you who believe in evolution as having a belief system. Explain how it makes good sense for a scientist (or evolutionary believer) to get so angry when someone questions evolution. Seems that you are very emotionally invested in this issue, which suggests a high level of faith, belief, and matters of the heart, not just cold, rational thought.

1 - What does intelligence have to do with education? Some of the most educated people I have ever met can't change a flat tire. Some of the smartest people I have ever met (reasoning skills, problem solving) barely finished High School.
2 - What do they believe then? Really, I am curious.
3 - Where is the country of Jews? You are profiling dear, nothing more. You haven't a single fact to back up your "claims".

Complete bull.
In the polls conducted in 2005 reported by Science magazine, the USA came 2nd, below Turkey, as the country with the most people to claim that evolution is false.
Japan ranked only 10% false.

By the way, Judaism is a religion that yours is based upon, is it any wonder they have similar beliefs?
As for the claim about China, they're hardly on your side there, the local "religions" are mainly Buddhism, Confuscism and atheism.

Do you know who questions evolution the most? Evolutionary biologists. They are constantly testing the theory for the great flaw that will get them all the speaking engagements and grants. By your reasoning, they are the smartest people on Earth.

Wrong, wrong, wrong...
Evolution is taught in Japanese classrooms and there isn't the slightest bit of controversy about it, like in the Fundamentalist States of America.
Come on into the 21st century, dude! The water's fine!

Where did you hear that they question evolution more then the USA? Because the USA is second only to Turkey in non-acceptance of evolution. So your point is moot.

Science is to be understood and accepted. Or do you just "believe in" gravity?
The more educated a person is, the less likely they are to believe any religion, and the more likely they are to understand evolution.
Also: fundamentalist jews, just like their christian counterparts, deny certain scientific truths because of religious beliefs. Your claims about Japan and China seem false - can you cite any references?
What makes you think that you are smarter than over 99.8% of scientists in relevant fields?

quote " are said to be the smartest people" Do you have evidence for this theory? is it hearsay , urban myth or a matter of faith?
Evolution theory is evidence led reasoning based on observation, experimentation and a large body of research. So, is your question meant to be provocative or mearly foolish self justification?

And you proof behind this claim is . . . .
(Nonexistent perhaps?)
If you want some actual data here is a web site that has references to actual research:
http://kspark.kaist.ac.kr/Jesus/Intelligence%20&%20religion.htm
Considering that ther are more scientist called 'Steve' than the number that signed the DI's document saying that evolution should be 'questioned' (many of who were duped into it) tells me that the intelligent people thoughout the world accept evolution.
Get over it.
