My dad has an officially tested IQ of 146 and believes evolution is a lie. Being smart often doesn't make you right, it mostly makes you more effective at believing what you believe.

Indeed. I had a friend whose IQ was officially tested in the 160+ range and who didn’t wear seatbelts because he believed it was safer to be thrown free of the car. He cited all sorts of things quite encyclopedically to “prove” this absolute insanity was true.
