A synopsis of the morph of Nun + Ra based Egyptian mythology (Anunian theology) into Hindu mythology (Hinduism), and both of these as a syncretism morph into Jewish mythology (Judaism), and this into Christian mythology (Christianity), a belief system that currently dominates 75 to 88 percent of the world's religious beliefs. |
A standing rule, concerning 200+ IQs, particularly for those born after 1895, a belief in god or gods is an automatic disqualification from the 200+ IQ range. This question, in fact, should be the first question asked on any standard high IQ test, whereby an answer of “yes” would result in an unequivocal 15% reduction in the final IQ score. The reason for this is that one’s opinion on the matter of religion, and particularly on the great ‘theory of god’, is a huge demarcation or insight into one’s intellectual framework. God is humankind’s oldest scientific theory, conceived by genius men of olden days. Subsequently, if one is a true modern-day genius, it is a matter of duty to question everything, especially those most established ideas. The theory is so dominant, that, in fact, at a minimum, seventy-two percent of the world's population currently believe this theory.

William Sidis (1898-1944) | 200-300 | ● At age 6, was a confirmed atheist. [60] ● At age 21, when asked in court if he believed in god, he replied “No” and clarified that evolution was his god; when pressed further about this he stated that he did not believe in the “big boss of the Christians”, but that he did believe in something “that is in a way apart from a human being”. [60] | pass | ||
Albert Einstein (1879-1965) | 160-225 | ● At age 75, gave his opinion that “the word of God is nothing more than an expression of human weakness"; described the Bible as “pretty childish”; and stated that “all religions are incarnations of the most childish superstitions.” [56] | pass | ||
James Maxwell (1831-1879) | 190-205 | ● At age 48, in his last year (the same age his mother passed from the same infliction [stomach cancer] he would pass from), wrote out his final private thoughts about the relationship of science and religion, the soul, choice and chance, and death and eternity his is riddle poem “A Paradoxical Ode”. | ? | ||

Michael Kearney (1982-) | 200-325 | ● At age 21, commented: “You have to be focused on the things that make you a human and not a golden god. You have to focus on just living.” (link) | ? | ||
Marnen Laibow-Koser (1975-) | 268 | ● At age 4, engaged in “mystical behavior”; saw his recently deceased Aunt Bessie being carried up an a flight of stairs, assisted by two old ladies, while at the funeral reception (although no one else could see these invisible stairs or invisible ladies), but supposedly described Bessie’s funeral dress and arrangement exactly and communicated with her, even though he had never really met here (Nature’s Gambit, pgs. 187-203). ● At age 34, stated "once again, God / the universe / whatever has reminded me that you get what you want (or what you think you want) when you're not really looking for it."

Marilyn vos Savant (1946-) | 186-228 | ● Quote: “Suppose you have bet on horse number 1 in a 3 horse race in which there is no favorite. After you have placed your bet, omniscient god, who, of course, knows the horse destined to win and how you have bet tells you, ‘It’s not going to be horse number 3’. Depending on God’s other attributes, e.g. whether God seeks to guide people towards the right decisions, you should probably switch to horse 2 if you have the opportunity.” (link) ● Quote: “Religions cannot be proved true intellectually.
