Ugh, not another troll thread...
Please. Just. Stop.
I don't understand. What's so unsettling about my posts???

You are threatening the status quo, they don't like facts that disagree with their perceptions of reality..
No, it is the graphs. SO MANY GRAPHS. Viking is that guy in every office briefing who just drowns everyone in power point slides. Sorry.
I like graphs.. No way you could get data like that across with the written word, post limits would not allow it and no one would read it all, much less be able to comprehend the big picture.
You want a big picture: if you believe that religion impacts IQ...you didn't have much IQ to begin with. You also probably think IQ measures something important, rather than how one functions and relates to the world.
I think that for most Christians religion does not plat as heavy a part in daily life as muslims so just because they don't say it plays a very important role in daily life does not mean that they are not religious or atheist. Islamic religions tend to play huge parts in people's daily lives because it is so oppressive and they have a lot of religious rules they have to abide by..
No I don't think that religion impacts IQ. I do think that IQ impacts a persons capability to understand and dismiss bad religion though, ie islam.
I DO believe that genetics play the absolute biggest role in IQ and than education plays much less of a part in IQ than genetics. I do accept that childhood nutrition can pay a part in IQ by brain development but still less of an impact than genetics.
1. Possibly so and maybe not.
But you certainly cannot tell any of that from strictly looking at the graph.
2. The graph only tells you there is a very long plot on the left and in the middle where I/Q-results are flat compared with national percentages of religiousity.
This alone would suggest that I/Q-results and religion are unrelated.
And on the far right where I/Q-results plummet as religiousity skyrockets, that end begs other questions.
Just my interpretation.
1. Absolutely not, I come to this conclusion after much research on this subject that has nothing to wo with this particular graphic.
2. The lower right section of this chart may very well represent that it is easier to get lower IQ people to submit to the oppression of islam, which is obviously a huge aspect of daily life, hens the oppression..
I/Q performance is largely genetic but also partially related to education and training as well. There might be some really smart poor uneducated kids who simply cannot relate to the test.
My view is that IQ is the measure of ones ability to figure things out for themselves as compared to education in which one knows/learns what others before them have been able to figure out.

You’re just throwing out raw information, with no commentary or opinion of your own and so nothing to guide or inspire constructive discussion. There’s actually a forum rule about this so maybe you should consider reviewing them.I don't understand. What's so unsettling about my posts???

You don’t even seem to be making any significant constructive replies on your own threads (or many others for that matter). As a whole, that behaviour can lead people to suspect that you have no interest in any real debate, just stirring up arguments and resentment. Even if that isn’t your intention, it’s how it comes across.
