I'm a double major (computer science, physics) with a 160 IQ.
The main thing wrong with this is that IQ tests generally do not measure well for anything over 130. The tests are designed to measure how a person compares to the general population, and therefore do not contain any problems difficult enough to measure accurately the intelligence of the exceptionally gifted.
Furthermore, even if you're not lying about this, your intelligence quotient does not actually tell us how smart you are, nor does it tell us what you know about life or anything else important. Rather, it tells us more about your potential for success. There is some correlation, but a high IQ does not automatically mean academic and career success.
I am not particularly religious, but I do enjoy reason and listening to people share their beliefs.
Why aren't you "particularly religious" if you're so absolutely certain of your god's existence? Considering the "arguments" you put forth here, you seem to be pretty confident.
I have studied the question of God's existence and human and cosmological origins for years, and I have concluded that God does exist and that the Bible is a book of divine revelation.
How? Why? You're not actually making any point here. If you're as superhumanly smart as you seem to think you are, you should be able to explain your thought process, as opposed to simply making a post attacking atheists.
Listening to atheists and evolutionists has been a major factor in my conclusion that there is a God and that the cosmos is only a few thousand years old.
Again, how? This says nothing, other than you are apparently unable to understand the ideas you mention, especially evolution.
Critical thinking involves objectively assessing all sides of an argument...all points of view...all lines of reasoning.
We agree here, but it's clear to me that you're not very good at it. How can you objectively assess the Bible and its claims, then come to an unyielding acceptance of such fairy tales? There is no documented evidence for the things in the Bible, and many of the stories fly in the face of logic, human decency, and morality.
I am yet to meet an "atheist" (most are actually anti-theists hiding behind a mask of fake non belief) who makes any valid attempt to argue for God's existence.
It is possible for atheists to be anti-theists, but not all are. In any case, anti-theists still don't believe in any god. It isn't fake non-belief, and you're rather arrogant to make the claim to know what someone else believes (or doesn't, in this case).
Some try, but they frame the entire argument within atheistic parameters...making the attempt in vain. I am also yet to meet an atheist who applies critical thought to atheism.
Bring it, then. You must not talk to very many atheists, because it's very easy to expose the Bible without ever mentioning God, Christianity, or atheism. All you need is a basic understanding of science, but you clearly lack that! There is no hope for you.
In essence, all atheists do is counter argue...making a negative argument of the Bible and any claims of God's existence. While counter argument is a continual subsidiary component of legitimate reason, when employed as an end (i.e. atheism) its patrons reduce themselves to irrational bashers (i.e. atheists).
And you have spent this post making ad hom attacks, rather than addressing the actual arguments made by atheists. Furthermore, you have attempted to present yourself as some sort of an expert in order to push your testimony, but you must know that this is a fallacy.
If atheists would move beyond mere counter argument, into critical thinking, they would find that atheism (actually anti-theism) falls apart. Atheism is filled with contradiction and fallacy.
Counter arguments are great, though, because there are so many horrendously ridiculous theistic arguments out there.
By the way, there is absolutely no contradiction in "I do not believe in any god." It's really simple. If you can't wrap your Mensa brain around that, then maybe you should stay in school.
In short, it would be nice if more people would learn how to reason properly..."atheists" most of all.
It would be even better if people would learn how to take their own advice. At the same time, they should also learn how to make posts that present actual arguments, rather than posts full of fallacies and false appeals.
