Any time I hear some vague statement like "Our sense prove to us that some things are in motion" I die a little bit inside.
Man, am I glad I found this forum. Every once in a while I like to talk to intelligent people.
I think many theists are intelligent, but they tend to ignore their intellect when it comes to one particular aspect of life: faith. When it comes to faith, religious nuts are willing to abandon all logic, reason and critical thinking. Religious folks will completely toss aside all common sense in order to make way for faith.
Doesn't mean they are unintelligent... just not applying their intelligence to that particular subject.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
