It's no surprise to me, I've seen Idiocracy. The less we have to do, the less that intelligence will be important enough to select for. Remember, things only get selected if they confer an advantage and all most people have to do is stumble to work and afterwards, flop in front of the TV eating cheeseburgers (making the occasional post to FFL along the way). As the blurb under the graph says, we tend to breed with people of similar intellect, so this trend will get cemented as a majority position. I think this has already happened in the UK (seriously) but I think we will end up like the Eloi and the Morlocks in The Time Machine, two human species but very different in the way they look and act. There is no reason why evolution should keep making things better. ______________________________ > From: salyavin808 <fintlewoodlewix@...> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2013 6:40 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: The data is in: Atheists are more intelligent > than believers > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "card" <cardemaister@> wrote: > > > > > > What is that country with the highest national IQ (~ 107) with > > > fairly few (about 12%) atheists?
