About This Quote

A characteristic of intelligence is the ability to solve problems and figure things out. The hallmark of intelligence is not whether one believes in God or not, but the quality of the processes that underlie one’s beliefs. As such, an intelligent person will not make up their mind on something they do not know enough about, and they will take time to investigate before arriving at a conclusion about an issue.
