The History of Religion
On the 2nd or 3rd page, there is a paragraph that begins ( paraphrase) ... 'A few distinguished men can achieve success in levels of higher thinking or learning..." And then the author refers to ... "Even the lower level of man who are engaged in work of less importance..."
I do not believe nor does the God I believe in support the idea of levels of intellect as it relates to God. To suggest one man is better than another simply because of intellect suggests an arrogance and ignorance I find offensive.
