Forums - Politics Discussion - Religious people understand the world less, study suggests

This is true because I have faith in it.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

I'm not in the slightest surprised about this. I was just waiting until something like that is going to be published. I fully agree with that statement.
Some religious people tend to have a bad understanding of how certain things work. They are also the first to judge certain cases and categorize them as being caused by spirits, ghosts or demons and stick to that conclusion.

Sadly enough, my mother falls into this category. Despite being sold on magnets which have magical power and giving her strength, she thinks to be smarter than everyone else on case regarding ghosts and god and stuff.

I avoid talking about this stuff in her present, because it doesn't end well.

People don't believe in facts as in people don't believe in gravity.

There's a difference between "religious" and "spiritual".

Anyway, it's scientists' job to understand this world, not mine. Just like it's mechanics' job to understand how cars work and chemists job to understand how medicine works.

Honestly. When are we going to stop having threads where it's okay to tell religious people how stupid they are?

Well, this is just reporting about a study and its findings... If you think there have been insults, you might want to report such users. But it's pretty dubious to ban reporting about studies and such (unless there's something wrong with the study of course). Essentially it would mean banning reporting facts.



It's old knowledge that religious people are significantly more stupid than atheists. The problem is that some people seriously use this as an argument against the existance of God.

Wasn't talking about the OP.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

But you can use it to argue that God isn't where the smart money is.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
