I would think that perhaps five pecent of people could, if their life depended on it, obtain a Phd in physics from Cal Tech. But among evangelicals I would expect that perhaps one in a thousand could. Even if someone was holding a gun to their child's head.

Seems that some of the southerners who are more or less brainwashed into such beliefs may have some untapped potential in there.
But overall I agree that those who believe in such stuff are far less likely to be among the intellectual elite.
