No, not at all, not arrogant because you did not agree with me. YOu are arrogant because you think you are 'intellectual' and others are laymen and you think you can laugh at laymen. YOu think you are someone special and superior. That is why I think you are arrogant, and Allah knows best.

>>> You say that you know about the subject

I never said I know about the subject. I said you have no right to judge me that I am a layman. How do you know what I know and what I do not know?

>>> If God hates arrogance, does He loves the quackery and forgery you are doing?

If you think research work done by scientists for decades is quackery, then you can think what ever you wish to think. I am not forcing you to think otherwise, neither can I.

>>> You have expressed another folly of yours to say that you were present here before me.

YOu were saying that I am on this forum just because of you. My answer to that was 'no', because I was on this forum before you were, I am not here because of you. I have been posting here before you came.

>>> I have not agreed to your syllogism or submitted to you instead of God..

What you think is what God said, is it really what God said?

Today that is the problem of fundamentalism. People start believing that what they believe in is what God said, and hence it must be true. This is circular logic. There are so many different interpretations of 'what God said'. How do you know your interpretation is the correct one? There are so many schools of Islamic thought, 4 major ones. How different they are in their interpretations of Quran majeed and hadith literature, we all know that. After that to believe that your own interpretation is correct, or the school you follow is correct, and all others are wrong, that is intolerance for other's right to their belief.

The Sept 11 hijacker's believed that killing people in planes and slamming them into buildings with more people is a righteous thing to do. Khalid Sheik believed that blowing up American passenger airliners over the Pacific ocean is a righteous thing to do. Gul Hasan  of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi believed that blowing up shia worshippers in their bargah is a righteous thing to do for the sake of Islam. Their beliefs were strong. They thought only they are right. A person gets so hard headed that only his belief seems right and everyone else's becomes wrong.

Even in the scientific community today, there are many differences. Scientiets agree and disagree on many issues, but they are not hard headed.

As for whether or not men have higher intelligence than women, you can find numerous articles and publications to support either way. To believe that only one side is accurate and not give any weight to the other side is narrow mindedness.

Here is a research publication that investigates why men believe they are more intelligent than women in general. It also states that men perceive themselves better in spatial reasoning and women in interpersonal intelligence, arts, etc. (like mr loveall said). It says that the mean estimate across all the aspect of intelligence is no different between males and females. What that means is men are better at some things and women are better at other things, and the combined level of intelligence is same for both genders. Of course it depends on how you interpret what is intelligence.

At the end it cites numerous references to other research papers. I do not have access to these but I would like to read them, especially papers from N Brody.[/quote]
