Here is what I think. Comment, tell me what you think.
Intelligence is the ability to memorize facts, use tools, follow patterns. Creativity, intuition, inspiration, wisdom, insight--these come from God; intelligence without God is an encyclopedia, an atlas, a calculator. The rest we must be taught by people who also believe in God.
We must be taught about God, first, then the rest will come to us through that understanding. Otherwise, we raise little machines who use their intellect to seek shallow pleasures, material wealth, casual relationships, short-term solutions--because they have no foundation in faith, no way to see the depth of meaning God has placed in our existence.
Profundity must see the connectiveness of things; human nature must be made aware of the world within which is much greater than the tangible one without. Human mind, body and soul cannot be fully connected without God, for God is the power source--an endless source. Humans must be connected to the Trinity that is within them to be fully human and solidly free.
Christian morals and intellect create genuis. Intellect, alone, creates chaos.
