(885 posts)There is no way you can sit there with a straight face and believe that. I'm not sure where you're getting your "science" from but there are a substantial number of studies on education vs population that show that fertility rates drop as education goes up (both when comparing between countries with different education levels and people with different education levels in the same countries).
Education, population growth, and human well-being - IIASA
Population, Education, and Development - UN
And your last paragraph is absolutely laughable. What you describe is called genetic memory, not intelligence. If it were true the way you stated then a newborn baby would be as intelligent as a college educated adult. Just because someone might have a genetic disposition towards learning something, it doesn't mean they will unless exposed to it. Education grants exposure to a wide range of subjects hence increasing our overall knowledge. I can pretty much guarantee you wouldn't be reading or writing on this site unless someone first taught you how to do it.
