Of the World's smartest scientists, 2/3 of them believe in God. From that data, we can clearly see that they are much smarter than the remaining 1/3 that reject the idea of God.
It's quite simple.

Either that, or that the 1/3 are the smartest of the smartest! So there!
Quibbling over the 2/3 statistic would be hard, given the undefined term "smartest scientists." I'm guessing AA would move the goalposts a lot.
OK what? 2/3 my ass! -- or is that your ass! Either way it reeks somewhat.
Please cite your source. Oh right, a fundie. Believing in a "deity" or supernatural force is not the same thing as believing in the Christian god, as many of the Indian and Asian researchers I work with can tell you.
Where's that study on scientists and religion? If memory serves, physicists (the people who know the most about how our universe works) and biologists (the people who know the most about how life works) were, by far, the *least* likely to believe in any sort of God (much less the Christian one) - and the overall percentage among scientists was quite a bit lower than 2/3.
@Crosis: Last I heard, theoretical physicists were actually the subcategory of hard scientists that are the most likely to be religious. Of course, the same study found that the more brilliant (in the opinion of his peers) a physicist is, the less likely is he to be religious.
First, I'd like to dispute that statistic. I don't *know* it to be false exactly, but no source was cited. Also, I know that many scientist answer a qualified "yes" to the question "Is there a god?," but most of them do not believe in the personal god of the Fundies.

Give me enough data, and statistically I will prove anything you want.
Firstly, we don't know that they are any more intelligent you knobjockey, and I really don't know what fabricated data you are looking at you smegbreath.
where do u get this false information bro?
Oh, and how about worlds leading intellectuals? Noam Chomsky being the #1 Intellectual and the largest % of them are all atheists mr!
Got a source?
Thought not.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
