Either intelligence is a property of the soul, or it is a property of the physical body. If the former, God exists. If the latter, intelligence is determined by DNA.
QED.
The brain is developed in part as a result of DNA, but it's paths and formation are altered as a result of environment, use, habituation, etc. It is clear that the repeated use of aspects of the brain alter it's composition, see neuroplasticity. It is not entirely determined by genetics as a result.

Also, intelligence existing as a property of the soul, taking soul to be a metaphysical consciousness, does not necessitate the existence of God. All it necessitates is a metaphysical reality, the contents of that are unclear aside from a soul.
I immediately knew it was gonna be daft when i saw le smug anime face.

You're basing this on the false premise that no atheists believe intelligence is inherited, which is wrong
The heritability of IQ is a scientific fact that's accepted by many atheists
>>499332
you're close, your intelligence is dependent upon your material conditions
you're a product of your environment which in-turn obeys the natural laws, your existence (and the illusion of 'intelligence') is a deterministic cosmic necessity
Define intelligence in first place. There are people who are mathematically extremely intelligent but may lack in other departments.

1. Souls existing would not prove a God existing and it certainly wouldn't prove your specific God
2. There are genes that determine intelligence, this is a fact.

Not even considering Habitus.
You're not even baiting. You believe what you said.
>>499332
Well, yeah, intelligence is determined by DNA and environment, exactly.
Also I fucking swear to God if you use my waifu Usagi to shitpost again I'm going to fucking find you and I'm going to fucking tear you eyeballs out, you piece of shit
>>DNA/Genetics determines the structure and function of human organs
>implying that biology is deterministic and not dynamic
k cool
>DNA/Genetics has nothing to do with intelligence
What
I know this is a humanities board but you people are really this ignorant?
>>499332
Body can't life with out soul, and soul can't acts with out body so both. It's like bottle of Pepsi both important.

Nobody except for leftist creationists deny that intelligence is largely genetic in origin.
>>499415
then what happened with you?

I thought creationist were mainly on the right.

/sci/ pls, I know Hindi is your first language but if you read the thread you'd see that no one claims genes have nothing to do with intelligence.
>>499332
>intelligence is determined by DNA
Yes, and?
>>499332
The potential of intelligence is, undoubtedly, derived from your genetic material. The realization of this intelligence, however, is developed throughout education, environment and experience.

nice strawman, now all it needs is a brain
