THE BIBLE MAKES YOU SMARTER

In a New York Times article dated January 11, 2010, the Times reported that the Jewish people make up .02% of the world’s population. Yet…

• 54% of the world’s chess champions are Jewish.

• 51% of all non-fiction Pulitzer Prize winners are Jewish.

• 27% of Academy Awards have been won by Jews.

• 22% of Nobel Prizes have been won by Jews.

Those numbers are statistical impossibilities. There is no natural way to explain them – unless the Bible really does make you smarter than all your teachers.
