many present day Arabs claim that the Jews of today are not their cousins.
I never heard of that, but anyway, I would rather turn to scientific studies for ancestral origins. There is a study out there that says Palestinians are practically the same as Jews genetically, so I guess the claims that Arabs and Jews are not related are not based on fact.
Do Arabs really have the ability to think on multiple levels? If this be the case, there should have been many eminent people of science, medicine, engineering, mathematics etc (you name it) among them.
You are making use of a logical fallacy here: Since there are not many scientists/Nobel winners etc among them, Arabs must be incapable of higher level brain function because of some genetic defect?
It should be quite unnecessary to point out the obvious here, but the Arab nations in general are extremely poor AND they are being dominated by their religious rules, which, incidentally is not the best ground for scientific studies to flourish. So, the fact that there are not many scientists among them at this point of time probably has more to do with the inaccessability of scientific studies to Arabs in general then some genetic inability at mathematical thinking.
Besides, you might like to look into history of Arab scientists and especially mathematicians, one of whom discovered "zero", thus making arithmetics as we know it possible.
90% of the Nobel Prize Winners were Jews!
What have you been smoking??? The number is more like 36% of all US Nobel Prize winners - 36% of US winners, not 90% of all winners.

Are you going to deny that young Jews have a BIT of a higher chance at scientific education than your average Arab youth? I hope not. |
