 I was listening to an exchange, I suppose you would call it, on a specialist radio programme. One side said that the problem with I Q testing is that if you repeat the test you get a different answer by up to 10 pts which is worrying. It may be generally indicative; but it is not precise

 I was debating or trying to debate the existence of God the other day and the main pro God argument seemed to be that I did not understand
