Question for the people who think that any talk about IQ and heredity automatically equals eugenics and Naziism - If you accept the principle of natural selection, which even most creationists as well as all evolutionists accept, then why can you not see the same principle at work here? On a scientific level, do you think human genetics operates any differently from that of the animals, which we routinely breed for the purposes of expressing specific traits?Oh, I don't know . . . maybe it has something to do with a little thing called the human soul???
Of course, if you think that the human soul is actually just biochemical reactions in the brain . . .

Actually, I'm quite big into the human soul. I also know that the human soul doesn't have anything to do with the genetics that determine our physical and related traits. After all, we KNOW from experience that there are some people who are just plain smarter than others. This doesn't mean that they have "better" or "bigger" souls than the other, however. Our soul is immaterial. Intelligence IS biochemical and physiological, as well as being partially environmental. Intelligence doesn't equal "the soul", however.
