I don't believe in God because I was brought up to, I believe in him from what I have read from the Bible and the evidence of his existence I see everyday.
anyone know any really smart really religious people

Yes. I know several people with PhD's who are religious... In Biology.
my dad is a chemistry professor and he always has bio majors coming through that don't believe in evolution
what a tool
That's a parody. He's not for real.
Hahahaha, that would kill me. None of these people are like that though. They're all very intelligent, but religious.
Poe's Law. As a Christian (incoming irony) and a geology student, I have a hard time dealing with other Christians who insist that they are infallible and so is the Bible. As was mentioned above, I probably wouldn't be a Christian if it weren't for my upbringing.
I can't remember where that's from(possibly another TeeDubber, though not necessarily from TW), but it pretty much sums up my thoughts.
See, there seems to be a fundamental difference between what a believer and a non-believer take as 'evidence'. If all this anecdotal evidence that believers proclaim were actually evidence then how could I not be convinced when you present it to me?
The best I've seen is bananas and reminders that we don't yet have explanations for certain things.

One of the unusual things about irrational thought (religion, esp, ufos, miracle healing, etc) is that its fairly insensitive to IQ and education level.
While it definitely does go down, say between a hs student and a recent PhD, it doesn't go down as much as you might think.
I know several very famous physicists who are also evangelical xtians... This in a field thats dominated by hardcore atheists.

You do know that it's a complete waste of time to "argue" with someone as dumb as RamataKhan, right?

maybe if they're asian and have family pressure they do, but most normal people don't
Maybe for teaching. Technical programs are a bit too much.

Some masters programs are 2 years, true. pretty much all my friends who got masters did it in a single year after their bachelors, as thats how the programs were all designed. A couple did it in 2, because thats how the programs at the schools they went to were designed. And these are all engineers.
In any event, bragging about taking 5 yrs when its not uncommon (and tons of schools have technical masters programs designed around 1 yr degrees), and most people would do it in 6 max, is kinda silly. If she did bach/phd in 5 yrs id be impressed.
for example, from the MIT webpage on the mechanical engineering masters program:
"The Master of Engineering degree is a 12-month professional degree"
