Re: IQ by religion
Out of a group of 100 randomly chosen people, 2 will be 130 or over. Out of a group of 1,000 randomly chosen people, 1 will be 145 or over. (IQ testing at ranges that high is not very exact and starts to have what is called “unreliability”; a WISC doesn’t go past 155 and a Stanford-Binet doesn’t go...

Re: IQ by religion
I think the test is flawed. Truly intelligent people would recognize the need for something to have created what is around them. The natural structures such as DNA simply express a profound example of a master programmer. We code in 1s and 0s and think it’s impressive. We invented trinary coding an...

Re: IQ by religion
Personally, I have no expectations regarding which of these groups are 'better than' others in IQ. IQ is man's evaluation of how intelligent people are and sadly many with high intelligence according to man often have trouble with simple faith and trust in Jesus. What is more important than IQ is w...

Re: IQ by religion
Josh: Back in the 50s/60s some schools administered them to basically every student. i’m not sure if you’re correct or not, but this is as i remember. School was based on MERIT, grades, accomplishments. I.Q. scores were important, but somewhat mysterious. Maybe controversial. I also remember being ...

Re: I-95 Bridge Repair
Most road work around the country, even in Texas is done by private construction companies under contract with the state. In fact, especially in Texas. TXDot does the design work but big contractors and construction companies do all the actual work. Like Alamo NEX Construction: https://www.alamonex...

Re: I-95 Bridge Repair
I see they contracted this to a private company. I congratulate Pennsylvania on getting this right. The fastest road construction in the world that I have seen is in Japan. The slowest road construction in the world that I have seen is here in Texas. All work is done by the state and they take forev...

Re: A Lost Submersible on Journey to Titanic
This story highlights why I could never be Christian. My only reaction is "good riddance". Amos 5:15 says "Hate evil and love good". I consider traditional Anabaptists to be the only tolerable people in the world (besides Arkians ) because they are the only group of people in the...

Re: If Trump deliberately hid classified documents.
from my Christian experience+perspective, for instance, in church leadership, it’s interesting to witness various men lead. some are popular, some seem inspired, some are gifted business managers that lead fund raising and maybe building expansion. overall, it’s important for leadership roles to be...

Re: If Trump deliberately hid classified documents.
I don't see what difference this would have made. The problem is that the American people are rotten. Political corruption is only a symptom of this problem.
