The question was do different races have different IQ distribution which is not simply explained by environment and upbringing
The question of how much IQ is inherited vs what can be achieved through environment and human volition in an ongoing question. I've seen numbers of 50% attributable to your individual DNA and 50% from other factors, but I can't give a definitive answer.
But I can point to some facts that indicate that reality. For example, one mineral alone, Iodine, can be the difference of 10 IQ points, I've read. That's just one physical factor within our control.
That's the problem - you look at this argument as a dialectic and take it personally. I only care for the truth
Not exactly. I only care what is true too, however I use the personal anecdote to show you where my certainty comes from. I truly advocate to trust the evidence of one's own eyes and ears over just looking at lifeless statistics.
Nothing you've said is upsetting to me as you're not trying to be disrespectful or vulgar , like the ungodly Romanists. Clearly Orthodox doctrine is bearing better fruits.
prot arguments....Orthodox interpretation
I am truly just applying basic logic to the facts given to us in scripture.
outliers...men vs women outliers
I won't go back over the outlier argument again because I believe I've made it clearly and correctly. It's a different situation. Personally I expect if/when the USA collapses and as Europe gets more anti-immigrant, the reversing of the brain drain will lead to a relative flourishing in developing nations. That doesn't mean they have to catch up to Europe but if God decides to bless them as such he can.
I agree about the idolatry. It's rampant. Haiti, the worst performing Caribbean island, has the worst issue with voodoo practices. Their "christianity" is a cover for voodoo from what I've heard. Other Caribbean islands, which are also mostly black, have fared better. You don't hear much about St. Kitts & Nevis islands or Barbados, because those aren't failed states and from what I've seen, seem to have stronger Christian faith.
Like I said, and as you seem to agree, faith is paramount. My grandfather somehow became successful in a poor African country after his father left him nothing. And it started with a conversion to Christian faith. Now his grandchild was able to perform at the highest academic levels in America. Why wouldn't I let the reality the Lord has shown me teach me something? I think I'd be in error to ignore the lessons shown to me in my own life.
