No, that divine reality that we have is evident of God.
But you need to demonstrate that it exists before you can claim it as evidence.

Are you asking how do I know what is good human quality and what is bad human quality?
If you are we see those two qualities among us every day. It's just that the good ones are the names and attributes of God and the bad ones are basically of the animal nature.

Can you be more specific? What, precisely, to you is a ‘good’ human quality? And how do you know that it is divine?
No, I’m not asking you to demonstrate that God exists. I’m asking you to demonstrate that such a thing as a divine quality exists.

So, let's say "intelligence" is a "divine" quality. Are people with sub 100 IQs abandoned by God/weak in the ways of God?

Well the thing is, we don't have dominion over other species because we are physical, obviously other animals is physically superior than we are. We have dominion over the animal because we have a divine reality.

Which end of a pointed stick is the divine one?

Would the evidence be evident?
The evidence would be the human being itself.
The human being is the only species that can manifest all of the divine names and attributes to the physical world.

Oh, do shut up and find another playground.
We already have someone filling the position of using almost the correct word.

The good human qualities are things like:
Integrity
Courageousness
Honesty
Generosity
Loyalty
Perseverance
Respectfulness
Politeness
Responsibility
Kindness
Humility
Lovingness
Compassion
Optimism
Fairness
Reliability
Forgiveness
Conscientiousness
Authenticity
Self-discipline
Like I said all of these are basically divine qualities of God. But society just doesn't know it. We demonstrate these every day.
It's not like I made all this up on my own. I learned this through the divine teachings that is called the baha'i faith.
Have you ever heard of the baha'i faith?

Let me ask you something, what reason is there to be so rude? Have I've been rude to you?
