High IQ = Intelligence?

[Rich Birkett]

YouTube video "I Can Prove that God Exists Mathematically | World's
Highest IQ Record Holder"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMoDR6a4F3M

YouTuber asserts that lines have a starting point as proof that
everything has a beginning and god is the source of the beginning of
everything. His lack of understanding of mathematics and geometry is
evidence that high IQ scores don't equate to intelligence or true beliefs.

Lines that have two end points are line segments. Lines that have only
one end point are rays. Lines with no end points have no start points
nor a beginning. It doesn't take a high IQ to understand this.

There are a ton of very interesting posts about this guy's alleged IQ.  I was fascinated that there is an entire High IQ subculture (much deeper than things like Mensa) out there that is basically in a competition for High IQ "awards."  

So yeah, wouldn't believe a word out of this grifter's mouth, lol.

Yes, people who boast about their high IQ are suspect.  I would ask this guy:  "Where is the beginning point in a circle?".

I thought this might be an appropriate time to reiterate my proof of the non-existence of God which I first proposed to this group a couple months ago. It did not get a response from this group at that time. 

Assuming God is the uncreated, then He is the pre-existent. When God then created existence He did not create himself again and hence never entered the realm of existence.

In that message I stated that God is indeed an athiest since He knows damn well He does not exist.

All of creation is a sign of God and the preeminent sign of God are His manifestations who have established His religions from age to age. I, as a member of the Baha'i Faith, believe that Baha'u'llah, the Glory of God, is the most recent of God's manifestations. This religion started 181 years ago in 1844 and teaches that the intellect is the greatest gift of God to man and that the revelations from God have never violated the intellect. The human reality has only advanced insofar as the human intellect has advanced.

Hi Geoff,

There are some challenging thoughts in your message!  Let's take a deeper dive into these ideas sometime...perhaps you would like to lead a group discussion ?

Today we're focused on "Epistemology" and hope that you will be joining the Zoom meeting in 30 minutes!

Thanks for sharing your philosophy,

Dab
