It may be true to some extent because Higher-IQ people have bigger egos as well. So despite all the evidence pointing to a supreme-being, a creator, an ultimate force governing the law of nature, they the egomaniacs think what they've acheived in their life is because they are so smart. All those atheist 7 agnostics out there, did you can not create a fly. Do you think you make babies with your semen or it is the God that makes the sperm and egg to convert to a baby? is the farmer who sows a seed makes the crops to grow or is it God that turn the seed into a plant?
So it is not higher-IQ, it is the Bigger ego that makes people to more likely to disbelieve in God. We all know, thatone may have a BIG ego without being intelligent.

"It may be true to some extent because Higher-IQ people have bigger egos as well."

My own experiences contradict this claim, for which I'd assume you lack evidence.

"So despite all the evidence pointing to a supreme-being, a creator, an ultimate force governing the law of nature..."

Evidence? Did you say evidence? Please share some of this "evidence" with us, so that we may study and examine it...

"those atheist 7 agnostics out there, did you can not create a fly."

What? What???????????????????

"Do you think you make babies with your semen or it is the God that makes the sperm and egg to convert to a baby? is the farmer who sows a seed makes the crops to grow or is it God that turn the seed into a plant?"

Your god isn't present in either of those processes; they've been rigorously researched, and this research has been published. Maybe you ought to try reading some of these studies rather than simply yapping semi-coherently about things you've never tried to understand...

"We all know, thatone may have a BIG ego without being intelligent."

Correct. You and your post are clear evidence of this...

"Michael Smith", you should look up the "Dunning-Kruger Effect":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect

Quote:

"The DunningKruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to appreciate their mistakes. The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their ability as above average, much higher than it actually is, while the highly skilled underrate their own abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority. This leads to the situation in which less competent people rate their own ability higher than more competent people."

Normally, it's the High IQ people who suffer from doubt, because their brain calculates much more alternatives.

Low IQ people, on the contrary, aren't carrying the burden of "thinking". Usually, this leads to pompous unjustified egos.

So,,,despite NOTHING?

"is the farmer who sows a seed makes the crops to grow or is it God that turn the seed into a plant?"

You don't plant the seed you won't get that field of wheat, you don't get enough rain (ask your Texan Fundies) it'll wither and die, you get too much rain it'll rot the crop. You can have it grow to maturity, ready to harvest and loose over half of it to a hard rain or hail.

You can plug your God into any of those with stupid superstitious and ridiculous reasonings but it all boils down to this : Shit happens, it happens without the need of a God and praying doesn't change the happenings.

Only one thing remains constant in farming, you must plant at the right time of year, you need a certain amount of rain and sun and not too many severe gaps of either and you need to harvest during a certain time period. Atheists achieve exactly the same success rates as good Christian neighbors, we've only been croppers for about 8000 years after all, much longer than your silly Gods been worshipped.

“It may be true to some extent because Higher-IQ people have bigger egos as well.”
Really? Because in my experience the really BIG egos are in the minds of REALLY dumb people.
OH! I see, you think people who can identify all your logical fallacies are driven by ego. Because it’s arrogant to tell you y’re wrong when you are…

“So despite all the evidence pointing to a supreme-being, a creator, an ultimate force governing the law of nature, they the egomaniacs think what they've acheived in their life is because they are so smart.”
All what evidence?
Most of the ‘evidence’ i’ve been offered is, at BEST, consistent with a god existing,but not quite something that demands the existence of a deity.

“All those atheist 7 agnostics out there,”
Hello.

“ did you can not create a fly.”
I’ve never thought that I could. Pretty sure they evolved from pantaloons without flies.

“ Do you think you make babies with your semen or it is the God that makes the sperm and egg to convert to a baby?”
Do YOU think you can show that gods MUST be required for a baby?

"is the farmer who sows a seed makes the crops to grow or is it God that turn the seed into a plant?”
The seed IS a plant, genius. Really, it’s not ‘turned into’ a plant.

“So it is not higher-IQ, it is the Bigger ego that makes people to more likely to disbelieve in God.”
No, absolutely not. Hovind, for example, has a HUGE ego and believes in God. Trump has a bigger ego and thinks he IS god.
Your hypothesis fails upon comparison to the real world.

“We all know, thatone may have a BIG ego without being intelligent.”
Yes. You sound pretty self-absorbed, yourself.
