You may have seen my other thread in N&CA titled "The Taboo of Science - 'Black IQ'."

Therefore, I shall lead on from the premise stated therein.

Basically, the premise in question is that intelligence is inherent in races - that is, 'whites' have a higher intelligence than 'blacks' but are themselves supposedly surpassed by East Asians.

What therefore does this say about God? If such a premise were a true fact, what implications would it have on God/His nature/His existence for example? Would it have any implications?

Discuss.

Well yes. It would be an arbitrary application of favouritism. Naturally then, it would be difficult for the 'all-loving' Abrahamic God to exist logically if he was favouring some races over others.

However there are many of these, i.e why are some people born into suffering and starvation Africa, whilst others are lavished in the western world?

These inequalities from the 'accident of birth' are already plentiful, so it doesn't really do much for the argument against God as it will be combated in the same way as the others, i.e punishment for a previous life, it doesn't matter if you're going to heaven, or whatever the responses are, I don't know as I'm generally ignorant of religious philosophy.

It is extremely hard to associate IQ with religion.

A huge majority of scientific societies are atheists but then again some of the greatest authors and philosophers to have ever lived have been deeply religious yet IQ doesn't exactly function well for literature/creative-orientated intelligence.

If white people are smarter than black people, why is a black man leading a world superpower and you're at home (probably un-employed or doing a mickey mouse degree) being a below average troll?

So it would seem.

But if I follow my thought and mental process, what do I get?:

*A stumbling upon the thread "'Racist' Cambridge Lecturer"*

*A little posting in, reading and browsing of the thread*

*Accumulated information seeps into subconscious/linking of past experiences, knowledge and thoughts*

*Creation of thread "'The Taboo of Science - Black IQ"*

*Reading responses and engaging in dialogue*

*Mulling over hypothetical implications and premises resulting from past thread creation*

*Finally, resulting in creation of new thread "God and racial intelligence"*

Yes, I really am on dis ting (Damned ebonics, as Shaquille said )

Dear me!

Excuse me, but what I state here are all hypothetical premises. If you followed my post history (especially my recent thread creation), you would see that I in fact don't believe any of this to be true. Rather, I make such posts in order to undermine such positions, theories and views and whatnot.

Mixed-race man*.

By the way, he means on average, not every single black man.

What difference does it make?? I am mixed race, but class myself as black. No biggie.

Ahh, generalisation. We meet again...

There is a link between race, religiosity and IQ. See here for data -

http://hypnosis.home.netcom.com/iq_vs_religiosity.htm

Highest IQ = Some Mongoloids (Japanese) and European Caucasoids who are least religious.

Lowest IQ = Negroids, who are very religious or superstitious. For example West Africans such as Nigerians believe a lunar eclipse is caused by demons, and start killing people on the street. This was reported only 2 years ago.

Not just ''East Asians'' as you say. I know it's trendy these days to get into the whole ''Slumdog'' thing and ignore certain truths, but Indians are pretty smart too....just let themselves down by being corrupt.

Big difference, a black person is just black, a mixed raced person is half white and half black. Just as you call Obama black, somebody else can call Obama white; it makes more sense to call him mixed race, to avoid confusion, and it's a far more accurate description.

Yes, that's true, the average IQ of a black person is lower than that of any other ethnicity, and being an average, it is a generalisation, there's no denial in that.

But while nobody is actually 'black', Obama would suit that description more.

And why is that? The poor standard of living blacks endure in many parts of the US, subsequently meaning a lower standard of education.

There are literally dozens of omitted variables which I am guessing have not been taken into account in what you have concluded. Is there an actual study which does not just compute the average between races? Because that method is completely invalid.

I find that the most feasible theory is that the socio-economic positions of blacks in society results in their lower IQ.

No that's been debunked. Adverse environmental conditions only raise the Negroid IQ 13 points (Lynn, 2006). Still far lower than the average Caucasoid European. So for example, ''Black'' Africans who have been raised in another country by ''white'' families, only raise their IQ to a max of 13 points, still far under the average Caucasoid European or ''white'' IQ (100).

Racial differences in IQ are genetic. The ''Black'' ''White'' gap is impossible to close. It will always remain by a 20 - 30 point gap.

Well so-called 'genetic favouring' is already rife among humanity, such as Kenyan/Ethiopian dominance in distance running and Afro-American dominance in sprinting. Intelligence is just another to add to the list.

Stick to the topic at hand, people.
