Hey does anybody have access to the full article? (I will subscribe if I can't get a copy any other way)
Is it merely the fact that physical scientists, on average, have higher IQs (duh, more math!) and are also less religious (whatever that means) than other scientists? If so there are a host of possible causal interpretations and this is a ho-hum issue. Did they correlate IQ and religiosity _within_ disciplines? Within disciplines there may be no correlation, a negative correlation or even a positive correlation (i..e Simpson's paradox). I'd also like to see their measure of religiosity .. Also, I'd like to see if they also threw in spirituality either as an alternate measure of religiosity or (ideally) a co-variate. I'd also wager there are some interesting non-linear relationships lurking between these variables .. ========================== John W.
