Yeah, right after God approvingly said of His handiwork that it was "Good", he must have looked at Adam
(both God and Adam being much less intelligent than anyone here) and thought-
"Oh well, he didn't turn out so good, but I guess we'll keep him anyway".
Now to brakeman's question:
We have no way of knowing the IQ of those who went before ourselves, except to examine what they built which has remained to our time, much of which we can't do today.
When we look at the Neanderthal skulls we see that we are less robust.
We see the degradation of the gene pool over time (getting bit in the tail by the 2nd Law).
The latest generation always flatters themselves to think we are so much sharper than those dullards who went before us. A testament to pride always being foolishness.
Nobody ever got sent to hell for lack of understanding.
No one holds mentally deficient people to the same standard as others.
That includes God.
