"Though Jews make up less than 3% of the U.S. population, they have won more than 25% of the Nobel Prizes awarded to American scientists since 1950, account for 20% of this country's chief executives and make up 22% of Ivy League students...."
Talk about "over-achievers"!
They have excellent pedigrees -- Moses, David, Solomon (wisest man on earth), Saul of Tarsus, and, of course, the greatest Jew who ever lived... Jesus of Nazareth.
Maybe ingesting Scriptures generation after generation is good for your mental development -- now THAT would be a research project!
Or, maybe living according to, or attempting to live according to, God's revelation has a positive effect on one's mental development. Now THAT would be a research project!
Or, maybe because Jews have had to live by their wits among hostile Gentile nations they have developed a superior genetic pool. Now that's a study that will NEVER be done because secular scientists who claim to believe in a darwinian survival-of-the-fittest model for all life in all other contexts absolutely refuse to "go there". All of a sudden, they jump up into the "upper story" (as Francis Schaeffer calls it) and into the "created equal" ethos of Christian thought.
And that's the way the inquiring Gentile Ball bounces.

...or maybe the fact that the Nobel judges are biased?
