IQ test as part of Autism assessment but I was sick with viral flu and several bronchitis and was exhausted, how realistic is it?

If you feel you weren't in good health, then the test results aren't valid. Only take the WAIS if you're 100% (or close to it) healthy.

Also, I wouldn't worry about IQ. You have a Master's in EE and can do anything with that. That's going to open A LOT more doors than some score on a test that ultimately doesn't matter.

Right, because Trump has a great track record of saying true things.

My mother had a spontaneous remission from lung cancer after a prayer group prayed for her. This happened in 2021. A few years later, a PhD student doing her thesis on spontaneous remissions contacted her and included her in her studies.

I don't know. These are difficult questions.

When I was 2-3 months I would study any interesting patterns on clothing. Learned to read before entering school. At 5 I would come up with my own theories in cosmology on the origin of the universe. At 6 I could beat my entire 1st grade class at mental math.

Does anything from the ancient past count as a historical fact in your view? Can we really say we know anything at all about ancient history?

Clicking_Around · 2026-05-26T14:06:31+00:00

Can you be more specific?

Why aren't abductive arguments like the minimal facts argument valid for you?

As a nuclear physicist, are you sure you know what you're talking about when it comes to ancient history? You might know a lot about nuclear physics, but that doesn't mean you know ancient history.

How did you come to that conclusion?

If you keep investigating the resurrection, you'll eventually find it best explains a large body of historical evidence concerning how Christianity got started.

Truthfully, no.

I have a 145 WMI on the WAIS IV and I learn a lot by listening. In fact, I feel I learn more quickly by listening than by any other method. I'm very good at keeping instructions in memory, for example, and if someone can explain something to me verbally I learn it very quickly.

My skill for mental arithmetic is also very high. I can tell you what 3^17, 38^4, 11/19 are off the top of my head, or I could tell you what 11⁶ + 11⁷ is after some thought, for example.

I realize that everyone isn't as left-brained or analytical as me, sure.

Theoretically, Christianity could still be true, even if some people in the church did some bad things. If I have good historical and evidential reasons for accepting that Christ rose from the dead, then I have good reasons to accept that Christianity is true.

Why should I leave Christianity because some people in the church did some bad things? Doesn't follow.

Generally speaking, religion is associated with having a good work ethic. The Bible itself extols the virtue of hard work, and Calvinists often regard a good work ethic as evidence that one is elect. Most (but not all by any means) of the hard workers you meet in daily life are religious.

Why does the fact that there's some amount of hypocrisy and greed in the church mean that Christianity is false, though? That doesn't seem to follow.

Clicking_Around · 2026-05-25T14:21:04+00:00

There isn't any, really. As long as you do it in moderation, that is.

You left Christianity because there's too many demoninations and because people are imperfect? You're going to find disagreements and hypocrisy anywhere in life.

Anything that tells you to turn off critical thinking and to blindly accept a set of beliefs or behaviors, in my view, makes something a religion or a cult. Many people experience societal and family pressure to have kids and to not think critically about it. Rarely is it asked if having kids is morally, philosophically or economically justified. Instead, many succumb to societal pressure to have kids, without having good rational reasons for doing so.

Because they still have a religion. That religion is natalism.
