Is your point here Jerome, that believers in any piece of supernatural nonsense (my post I get to call it what I like 
) are no more and no less intelligent on average than anyone else? If so, it's a point I'm quite happy to concede. Throughout the ages there have been many, many intelligent people who have believed in all sorts of fuckwittery - how much time did Newton waste trying to turn lead into gold? And there are to this day many people far more intelligent than I who believe in the deranged silliness of Christianity (again my post, I get to call it stupid if I want).
But that in terms says nothing about the truth or otherwise of what they actually believe in.
