How come the greatest scientists on earth are religious?

How could religion prevent your research, go back to stare at data

With humility comes wisdom.

And atheists can't get wisdom because they can't get humility, atheism is a massive tipoff of narcissistic personality disorder

Look at demographics from the nations of Nobel Prize winners at their ages. Religion has little to do with science itself in the modern era, one way or the other.

Because as Christians we are smarter than narcissistic know-it-alls that think they Christians are so good at problem solving and critical thinking relative to Atheists (another religion). Your chart proves that point because the Christian piece of pie is bigger than the Atheist piece of pie, proving that the average Christian scientist contributes far more than the average Atheist.

R = event one is religious
S = event one is Nobel prize winner (including peace prize)
Bayes Theorem:
P(R|S) = P(S|R)*P(R)/P(S)
P(~R|S) = P(S|~R)*P(~R)/P(S)
P(R|S)/P(~R|S) = P(S and R)/P(S and ~R)
P(R|S)>P(~R|S) when P(S and R) > P(S and ~R), or when the blue area is bigger than the green area in pic rel showing areas that are proportional to the estimated prevalence. The answer to your question is because the blue area is larger than the green area.

Sure its the people who don't implicitly assume they are demigods who can't into humility while you are the one who assumes you are humble since you are on direct speaking terms with the source of the entire universe and while you have the entire universe at your disposal, you don't even ask to be intelligent or powerful.

Dude, I always fill in my religion as Christian out of respect for my parents and because I like Christian values, but I have grave doubts about the existence of God.
Two things are conspicuous about that image: the time range (why start at 1901 and cut off at 2000?) and the lack of details about what the Nobel Prizes were for. I'd be interested in seeing the data for 1901-2024 when restricted to high-IQ Nobel Prizes and the Fields Medal.

Religious people pushes their research, that's pretty much it, also to be intelligent means, that you're aware of what happens with people around you when your belief systems doesn't match.

But it does tend to refute the common atheist claim that they are smarter than religious people, doesn't it.
I notice every time atheist decide to do an IQ test to prove they are smarter, they never bother to control for other variables. It's almost as if they know a fair comparison would not support their claims.

The claim is about the averages, not the extremes, on average people who can distinguish reality from fantasy are smarter despite there being more retards and geniuses on the extremes of schizos with imaginary friends.

So you think agents are treated like this, but in PQR(three body problem) that is 2 grades out of the perfect body and I could checkmate you on that account. Trust me, I don't like he way you act and your policies. I will one day make people far greater than you. I might even checkmate you alone. I've got lots to play with. Times are strange.

Every physicist believes in god. They may not know it themselves, but they are.
That they are Christian is just a consequence of being born in the west.
