No, stupid is when you don't recognize there is a personal, loving God who loves us all enough to have created this marvelous thing called life -- without needing evolution to help Him.

If God is God, He doesn't need evolution. He needs us to take Him at His word and be an intellectual apologist for same.

And God doesn't call people who don't believe in Him stupid.

He calls them "fools".

As has been made quite clear on this thread, that's hardly the only variety of "stupid".

God doesn't need gravity to move the earth around the sun or the moon around the earth, but He does use gravity to do just that. (I believe that, BTW, even though gravity isn't in the Bible.) Just as He did use evolution to bring forth you and I from the "dust" of pre-existing living things and raise us to a level where we can worship Him.
