I skimmed your post rather quickly and it's possible I didn't understand what you're trying to say.

While I'm willing to agree that you can find some smart people who are gullible about certain things, I do not agree that they are just as likely to be gullible as those with lesser intelligence.

I'd be willing to make a huge bet that a sampling of 50 random astrologists will show lower IQ's than a random sampling of 50 people who view astrology as complete bunk.

If you accept this bet, I'll give you a chance to get your money back by betting me that we will find fewer astrologers among 50 random scientists than 50 cashiers.

Clearly intelligence comes into play when forming beliefs based on evidence or lack thereof.
