Throughout human history our belief system has gone from natural gods, or polytheistic gods and titans, to singular ideas/gods, (which is no coincidence with the nature of our world; ie. politics, economics and general philosophical mindsets). With this in mind, notion that the more an intellectual advances his study of knowledge, the more he or she will question, ponder, or simply think about what is, or could be, an answer to the question of God. Having an unwavering faith; in anything, is comforting & all consuming if it is meant as your guiding beacon of light. This has always been a characteristic of those with lesser intelligence, simple minded and assuming people. Those who have though beyond the basic levels of simple thinking, who expand their mind, are going to discover that a belief system based on a notion of one is, respectfully, ludicrous.

I feel that our faith is not connected to what would probably be our academic intelligence, which seems to be discussed in this article. I feel that it has a connection to what could be called our observational intelligence. Things you don't first see in books like situational right and wrong, or general human emotion, etc. Those types of things seem to have a huge affect on an individuals belief in God, or is it just me ???

When an individual feels that they have acquired any sort of knowledge it seems that it becomes sort of human nature for us to challenge anything in question. As we acquire more and more knowledge, the more qualified we feel we are to debate anything in question as long as we are against the masses. More or less what the Dr. said.
