Intelligence is as intelligence does. Education only works in a functional society where knowledge is refined and tested, but also subject to humanist principles. IMO. Religious "education" persisted for years with philosophers writing arcane and esoteric "apologetics" to make a case for some ridiculous point or another (from my perspective). They were detailed and addressed every conceivable (and made up) scenario. They had to be functionally retarded to simultaneously believe in an omniscient and all powerful God that created a being that could successfully rebel against their God in his place of residence. Yet for thousands of years learned people have "explained" such things as being a part of the natural order.
