There you are: I thought I had set you straight!

Well, at least you have a sense of humor. That sometimes helps on these threads.

Things to ponder:

At the current rate of progress, in a generation or so, gene therapies may become available that promise to raise IQ by perhaps 1 std deviation. However, if a side effect is an increase in scientific comprehension and a reduction in mystical belief, how many people will volunteer?

How wide will the wealth gap grow as more intelligent, educated professional classes continue to generate higher incomes and intra-breed? Could this behaviour eventually lead to a new form of human species? At some point in the future, would IDers follow Neanderthals into extinction?
