Actually, there is no contradiction between Intelligence and faith. With one caveat of
course; being that the article of faith is not held in the face of evidence to the contrary. In fact the two are not even related.
From Wilipedia.......
Intelligence is a property of mind that encompasses many related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn.
No where in there is the word or idea of faith mentioned. Faith can exist independantly to intelligence. To simplify, faith picks up where evidence leaves off. Some of the most highly intelligent people of the human race have displayed "faith". Einstein for example; would you like to suggest he was not intelligent simply because he professed a faith in a higher power?
The idea faith is contradictory to intelligence is a common misconception those who profess an absence of faith in anything not scientifically "proven" seem to be under.
One must wonder why so many seemingly intelligent people fall victim to the same simple misconception?
