First of all an IQ of 135 is better then 98% of people on the planet earth. Second you'll find that Einstein and Hawking aren't exactly Christians. They may not label themselves full fledged atheists, but neither of them are real believers of the BS that religions offer. They are more of the school that you can't prove there's not a creator, and you can't prover there isn't, so I choose just to believe there is something just because it's nice to feel like there is. Third even in today's society coming out and saying your atheist is a hard thing to do because most people are taught that atheists are evil. If Isaac Newton walked around trumpeting atheism in his day and age, the pope would have probably had him hung by his testicles or something. Not saying he was an atheist, but it was a lot more difficult to admit to it back in those days. The primary reason for it though is because it takes a certain kind of person to totally commit to atheism. Even though I am one, even I would admit there is a possibility that there is some kind of creator. It's just that if there is, he's basically the equivalent of a kid sitting on his computer playing sim city. He doesn't hear our prayers, or send us to hell, care about our well being, or any of that other crap, he just created this universe as an experiment for his own entertainment. And if he actually does want us to worship him then he doesn't deserve to be worshiped. If you sat down with Einstein or Hawking or almost anyone intelligent who's put any thought to it what so ever, thats about what they are going to tell you. They might still believe he exists, but as far as basing there life on it, and worshiping him like the rest of the sheep, don't bet on it.

As far as we know, Einstein was never tested, and if Stephen Hawking was tested, he's not telling the result. It's likely he never will be meaningfully tested, since many of the components of standard IQ tests are nearly impossible for someone with ALS. Clearly both were over 150.
More important, look at what they did with what they had. What are you doing with what you have?

To the person who said that Stephen Hawking is half "retarted", I'd like to say that he has a PHYSICALLY degenerative disease that renders him unable to walk or speak. He is brilliant. I hope the writer never suffers an accident or disease that leaves him "retarted".
I have no idea if Einstein ever took an IQ test, but either way, both men would regester well into the 200's. It really doesn't matter.

Einstein had the IQ to formulate the Field Equations. Stephen Hawing had the IQ to solve and interpret the "Field Equations"

The methods of measuring I.Q. for people above the 150 mark are not very accurate. It is impossible to say who is 'smarter'. I notice many people listed Einstien as a hands-down winner. They may not appreciate Hawking's work, or the fact that he overcame a severe handicap. In my mind, it's a toss-up.

The standard IQ tests are irrevalent to measuring the talents of a genius, since any test to test a genius would have to be conceived by someone smarter than the person they are testing! Also, how does one test for the genius of imagination and creativity in a person like da Vinci?

Doesn't being alive help with having a high IQ?
