Oh I dunno. I think what you're talking about is common sense rather than IQ. Many of them do have high IQ's, but IQ's like anything else are subject to the force of one's will. If you run into a little math problem that challenges your presuppositions you just might be inclined to answer it incorrectly, because your heart hurts too badly if you do anything else. It's instinctive, denial.

IQ has little to do with common sense, just ask Cyrano. I make sure he knows that every day. < G > Us lower life forms are useful for making sure the supergeniuses don't forget to put on their pants before they go out the door. Of course, how practical are pants anyway, it's just a cultural norm.

But then again, Cyrano wouldn't be considered a genius by any one of them, since he's a creationist.

Maybe they should come up with a common sense quotient?

How many atheist websites would they have to consult to define it though?
