1) There is a certain aura of natural decency in the way they carry themselves. They have an inbuilt courtesy mannerism that makes it difficult for them to ever look down on you even if they are more knowledgeable.

2) They treat everyone equal. An intelligent person always respects people, and will relate to you in a decent and open-minded manner. Well, except you start showing a funny side which they may not be comfortable with; they may choose to start ignoring you.

3) Intelligent people don't feel insecure about the intelligence of other people. Rather, it attracts them. They don't get repelled by the fact that someone else is more knowledgeable than them. Their curiousity is sure to increase, and they will learn from the person instead.

4) They have an insatiable appetite and desire for knowledge and experience. Intelligent people know that knowledge and experience rule the world. They learn, they unlearn, and relearn. They also repeat the cycle because if you stop learning, the mind starts to deteriorate.

5) They pay attention to detail, and may appear to be perfectionists at times. This comes from their meticulous nature of doing things to the best of their ability as opposed to doing something for glory or personal glamour.

6) Intelligent people may keep procrastinating a work for a while, but they usually finish the work in one single sweep when they eventually decide to do the work. Though this may seem like a good trait at first, overtime the procrastination may lead to many unfinished works, overburdening the mind, causing exasperation in the process. Therefore, as much as possible, an intelligent person ensures that procrastination doesn't take the place of actualising set goals.

7) Every intelligent person i know is broad-minded and love constructive discourses about ideas, politics, religion and concepts.

Intelligent people accept people for who they are, knowing fully well that everyone have their own personal baggages and different life experiences. They embrace other people's culture and will share in the good attributes of such culture whenever they can.

9) Intelligent people are open minded person's who will never discriminate against anyone because of where they come from or the religion they practice. An intelligent person knows that maturity involves acceptance of other people's culture without bias towards their gender, race, religion or ethnic origin.

10) Intelligent people make mistakes too. However, they're quick to self-correct the mistake, and so you may always think they're saints and the world has lined a smooth sailing passage for them. No! Intelligent people also have their personal problems, but they don't let it get it in the way of their common sense of reason. It doesn't give them an excuse to turn to jerks and start throwing queer tantrums at random to the world or people.

Because their situation in life rarely affect their mannerisms, other people will always misinterpret their behaviour and assign their own different conflicting interpretation.

Good to know.

Thank you, OP.

You are welcome.

A man who does opposite of what Thatfairguy1, helinues, omenka ,favor914 and fuckosupigs does is an intelligent man

Numbers 2, 4 and 7 for me.

For number 2: everyone is actually equal in the sight of God. The only difference we have on this Earth is opportunity.

The difference between the illiterate bottle water hawker on the express and a graduate banker is opportunity. The former had no opportunity of being educated while the later had the opportunity of not only being educated, but also being employed. No one is block headed.

Meet me. The most intelligent in Nigeria

Nonsense.
Let them take IQ tests.
That's the only way.

The only quick way to spot an intelligent person is to ask if he or she believes in the existence of God. Affirmative means they aren't intelligent yet, otherwise means they are.

I'm sure you don't believe this nonsense you typed here.

Better get off your high horse and stop being delusional.

Many people (philosophers, scientists) around the world and in history, who are great achievers and don't even have a specific religion, believe in God (not necessarily Allah, Jesus, Yahweh, or other egocentric human-like beings people worship in religion).

All these are highly intelligent people.

When science is yet to discover and explore even 1% of the universe and a so-called smart person believes something (universe) can come out of nothing and is so certain God doesn't exist.

There is no way you want to make your argument about God's inexistence and rule out this undeniable fact is: For something to exist, it must have a first cause.

You can choose to call the first cause any name you like, such as God, the All, Universe, etc.

Stop being delusional.

If you can't provide empirical proof to your claim, then you're the one being delusional, don't you think?

Any claim without proof can be dismissed without proof.

Anyone who believes a mystical fairy God lives in the sky needs a bed in a psychiatric hospital.

There could be a possibility of such going by how vast the universe is, but it's foolishness to believe something exist without evidence of its existence.

And again, that Einstein believe in God doesn't make it true. Stop appealing to authorities, that's fallacious - Argumentum ad populism.

At least you've proved to me that you're not intelligent. That's a good start!

Thank You!

There is enough evidence, not just the type you're looking for, since the physical aspect of reality (the one you're focused on) is only one component. There are other aspects of reality.

Why do you think God would want to meet you?

I see you have realized your folly when you said people that believe in God are not intelligent, and you mentioned Einstein yourself.

And according to your parochial mentality, Einstein wasn't intelligent? Plato; Aristotle; Socrates; Spinoza; Hypatia were all not intelligent for believing the universe has a creator or seeing the Universe as God? But you're? Lols.

What proof do you have of this claim?

Did I exhibit any tendency or desire to meet 'god'? All I ask is to back up whatever claims you make with proofs, not making more unverifiable claims.

And according to your parochial mentality, Einstein wasn't intelligent? Plato; Aristotle; Socrates were all not intelligent for believing the universe has a creator? But you're?

First of all, Einstein was an agnostic or perhaps, a religious unbeliever.

Referring to Einstein was mainly to call you to the fallacy you committed.

GodWrites:


What proof do you have of this claim?

I don't see any reason to waste precious time arguing about the existence or inexistence of God. God (a great source of energy) doesn't interfere with the universe, isn't something to be worshipped or prayed to, and is existence itself.

I normally ignore comments about the existence/inexistence of God. However, I quoted your post specifically for saying people that believe in God aren't intelligent, even though there's more than enough evidence that your assertion is simply bogus.

Only someone that doesn't know the history of many of the greatest scientists and philosophers in modern times and in the last few centuries would say all these great minds are not intelligent, simply because they believed the universe has a creator or that the Universe itself is God.

Though quite understandable that religion makes nonsense of people's sense of logical reasoning. However, most of the time, it's just when it has to do with things of the alleged 'supernatural'. Religion is just a single aspect of a whole lot of other things individuals spend their time on.

If you believe there is a supernatural fairy being in the sky, watching over you, and probably waiting for you death to bestowed heaven to you,then you're dumb and delusional.

You can exercise the thought of God's existence as a possibility, which is what many of these so called ancient philosophers or scientists did.

There were also many great scientists and philosophers who believed otherwise. Since your respect authority so much, why not go with their stance?

The moment you convince yourself that it exist without any tangible proof makes you unintelligent. It doesn't matter if you're a professor or a well respected authority.

I agree, religion is merely an aspect. But for me to quickly rank someone's intelligence in a matter of seconds, the 'god' question can yield a fast result.

Do you belong to any religious organisation, if yes, what are you beliefs?

I don't believe God exists, but I know so. I see God as a great source of energy and existence itself, not a sky daddy that watches over humans.

I am an individualist but lean toward secular humanism.

Perhaps your definition of intelligence differs from mine, which is a common problem in arguments.

But like I said, believing in the existence of God without any substantial evidence is dumb.

If after reading thousands of books and yet, you believe in a thing even when there is no atom of evidence of its existence, than that's foolery and delusion.

You KNOW so? Can you please provide evidence that made you so certain of such existence? I'm curious and ever ready to make modifications to what I know.

GodWrites:

I know God exists simply because something cannot come out of nothing. That's logically absurd.

I don't have physical evidence of God because God is not a human-like entity or a sky daddy and doesn't interfere with the affairs of the world.

It's humans that do everything.

God is the All or the Totality of Existence (a great source of energy).

If you feel something can come out of nothing, then you have to demonstrate how that's possible.

Even in quantum mechanics, it's not possible.

A great source of energy. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed.

You're yet to prove the existence of God, now you want me to also ask you to prove how this unproved God is energy?

Do you see how you keep making unprovable claims?

I need to bring this God to my lab and find out the source of energy lol.

Like you said, something cannot come from nothing.

Where comes this energy? Can energy come from nothing?

Also, I would also love to know the type of energy, so I can know what I'm dealing with.

It is chemical energy, electrical? Tell me.

GodWrites:

If you follow scientific research in astrophysics and cosmology, you will know that at some points in the universe, the laws of physics break down (for instance, in event horizon in black holes, or in the hot big bang model, at some point in the primordial past when the universe existed in the plasma state).

God is a great source of energy, manifesting in all ways possible (humans, plants, animals, planets, and all things in existence) and isn't created.

The world without (the physical worlds) came from the worlds within (inner worlds) via expansions of a singularity (a vacuum-like thing) into space-time.

The physical aspect is just one component of reality. There are other components as well.

What we see as reality is only a projection of the inner worlds (brains). And in the inner worlds (the real worlds), there are no space and time.

Life is like a dream. In physical reality (a projected reality), space is divided by time, and space-time is a virtual construct (doesn't really exist).

Therefore, God, a great source of energy, has no beginning nor end (cannot be created nor destroyed).

But the physical worlds (one of which is planet earth, bound by space and time & a projection of the inner worlds) have a beginning and end.

I know you don't agree with all this. That's normal.

If you can show me how it's possible for something to come out of nothing whether quantum-mechanically, or using any concept, I will agree with you that something can exist without a first cause, however logically absurd that sounds.

At the start of this argument, you said that something cannot come nothing. In your own words, that is absurd. Now you're bending the rules of your logic to fit your delusion?

What did I tell you about unprovable claims?

If you say God is energy, the first cause of everything, what evidence supports this assertion?

You can't just be making things up based on how you feel, you gotta prove it.

If you can't, then I can dismiss your claims without proof!
