This is exactly what I mean about lacking sophisticated critical thinking skills.
You made a leap of faith by connecting a diploma to superior intelligence.
The arguement doesn't work because you can have either without the other.
There is no dependent relationship. You see a connection where there is none.
This sort of flawed reasoning is why you see evidence where there is none.
You may call it "mean spirited" . . .
but, without being mercilessly critical, it's easy to give in to comfy delusions.

To get an advanced degree, one must write a thesis. To write a thesis, one generally needs to have intelligence. It is usually assumed that a person with an advanced degree is an intelligent person. Intelligent people can believe in God. My personal belief in God is not based on reason. It is based on faith, and it is not contradicted by reason.
