Where does Intelligence come from? The atheist world view cannot account for this question. All Intelligence comes from God. God is infinitely Intelligent and He is the only Being Who have created such a complex universe which has everything in place so perfectly. Do not let anyone fool you.

Wisdom of the World:
The Wisdom of this World is Foolishness. God is the One who catches the World's Wise men in their craftiness. (1Cor.3:19). He captures their Wise Men by their own shewdness, and the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted. (Job 5:13). They feel secure in their own Wickedness and says, 'No one sees me.' Their wisdom and knowledge have deluded them. For they have said in their hearts, 'We are, and there is no one besides us.' But evil will come on them which they will not know how to charm away. And disaster will fall on them for which they cannot atone. And destruction about which they do not know will come on them suddenly. (Isa.47:10-11).
This type of Wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but it is earthly, natural, demonic. (James 3:15). The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They corrupted themselves and have done abominable iniquity, there is none that does good. (Psalm 53:1). They despise wisdom and discipline. (Proverbs 1:7).
We do speak Wisdom from above among those who are mature; a Wisdom, however, not of this Age nor of the Rulers of this Age, who are passing away. (1Cor.2:6).
The Wisdom of the Wise Men in the World will perish, and the Discernment of their Discerning Men will be concealed. (Isa.29:14). Professing to be wise, they became fools. (Romans 1:22). These appearance of Wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, are of no value against fleshy and evil indulgence.
Jesus said, 'I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden this things from the Wise and the Intelligent of the World and have revealed them to infant spirits. (Matt.11:25). For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be Wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible creatures. (Romans 1:21-23). For it is written, 'I will destroy the Wisdom of the Wise, and the Cleverness of the Clever I will set aside. (!Cor.2:6).
If your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of Darkness. If then the Light that is in you is Darkness. Matt.6:23). See to it that no one takes you captive through Philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the Elementary Principles of the World. (Col.2:8).
A man of Understanding walks straight. (Prov.15:21). Guard yourself what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called 'Knowledge'. (1Tim.6:20-21).
Let not a Wise Man boast of his Wisdom, and let not the Mighty Man boast of his Might, let not a Rich Man boast of his Riches; but let him boast of this, that he Understand and Knows God, that he is the Lord Who exercises Loving-Kindness, Justice, and Righteousness on Earth; for He delights on these things. (Jer.9:23-24).
Do not be wise in your own eyes. (Prov.3:7). It is a way which seems right to man, but its end is the way of death. (Prov.16:25). Because in much Wisdom there is much grieve, and increasing Knowledge results in increasing pain. (Eccl.1:18). Woe to those who are Wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight! (Isa.5:21).
God puts No Trust even in His servants; and against His angels He charges error. How much more those (spirits) who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the Dust, who are crushed before the moth! Between morning and evening they are broken in pieces; unobserved, they perish forever. (Job 4:18-21).
For the message of The Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to the ones who are being saved it is the Power of God. (1Cor.1:18)
