If you can outsmart your maker, you're in good company. Not the company I want to be in...
post edited for clarification. A friend offered me a chance to make my assertion more clear..
indeed, we have a brain. By design, faith is not a matter of intellect, or only smarts would get us to God. Faith and intellect can be/often are, at odds. In my case, faith was a conscious decision that intellect could not earn entry to knowledge of divinity. The brain can't go where faith can go.
No intention to say I don't want to be with people who think otherwise...saying I can't trust my intellect more than my knowing. It's another realm.
