Actually, that's not my website.

I wasn't implying that it was. "...visit this website"

Earlier, as I highlighted above, you said that you view God as a "genius on every level." So, if God is a genius, then it means that He has intelligence, right? I'm assuming the answer is yes, and if so, then this means that your view of God does have characteristics which are shared by humans unlike what you said (although on a much superior level compared to ours) because intelligence is a quality which is present in us human beings. In short, intelligence is a human characteristic.

First - I added that my own mild assumptions are no more valid than anyone else's. However I feel it is safe to assume that the creator of the universe would indeed have intelligence.
Second - Where is it written that intelligence is an attribute only of the human race. God or no God, it's probable that other intelligent life exists in the universe and that is not human.
