"The average IQ of Obama's African relatives in Kenya is 71. There's NO reason to believe his IQ is any higher, and MANY reasons to believe it's MUCH, MUCH lower.
In case you didn't read my last post, in America an IQ of 71 is borderline retarded. So why is this relevant to the subject matter of this site? Because, I found that quote on christianparty.net. You can find the full comment here. Granted one could say this is merely the rantings of one crazy person, but the truth is that we all know that there are probably millions of people in America who believe this. There is an idea out there posited by Stephen Jay Gould that religion and science are nonoverlapping magisteria, i.e. they don't conflict with each other. My question is, if that's true, why is it that so many people (like the gentleman quoted above) who believe in God show such a flagrant disregard for the scientific method? And why does that flagrant disregard interconnected with hate-filled beliefs so regularly?
P.S. I can't believe there are people who use the phrase "caucasoid gene pool." He sounds like a racist Bill Nye.
