It depends how one defines intelligence...

A very subjective word, fraught with cultural bias landmines. Me smart... you stupid. Me Truth, you lies.

However, a foundation of modern science which is usually part of a definition of intelligence, especially biology, is evolution vs. faith-based creationism. Their are roots in 18th century debates of materialism vs. spiritualism. A real world the environment (and humans) can influence vs. determinism.

You still want to go to a science-based doctor than a Priest when you have a serious disease, is the Doctor more intelligent than the Priest?? Is the patient more intelligent for getting science and biology based treatment first??

Atheist propaganda.
For starters they don't define what they mean when they say intelligence, other than a reference to one study of high IQ children.
Is that the defining rubric of intelligence, IQ test scores?
