Obviously not, or so many humans who were more intelligent than you or I would not have spent so much time on the question.

Faith has far more to do with emotion than intelligence. Faith meets an emotional need (that some people have.) Then intelligence is engaged to try and justify it.

...the actions of intelligent beings are not ruled by probability.

Prove it.

“Faith has far more to do with emotion than intelligence. Faith meets an emotional need (that some people have.) Then intelligence is engaged to try and justify it.”

And yet you believe that all this matter and energy of our entire universe came from nothing.
0x0=0
0+0=0

And you think that I have faith... I submit to you that your faith is way stronger than mine. You believe that all this universe came from nothingness and I believe that in the beginning that God created the heavens and the earth, but yet you think I’m reaching...

My book gives the beginning, the end, and the middle, but your book won’t give Jesus Christ credit even though He is wrote about and witnessed in the Bible and SECULAR history to the point of beyond insanity.

You my friend want to describe logic, but yet won’t nor truly accept it as proof.

Stop that pain and accept our Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and He will forgive you of all of your sins.

Perhaps, but while Christianity may demand faith, theism does not, and we are discussing atheism vs. theism, not atheism vs. Christianity.

“Prove it.”

I don’t need to prove it, because it’s part of the definition of intelligence. To qualify as an intelligent being, you must both acquire and apply knowledge, and if you are ruled by probability, you are not applying knowledge, therefore you cannot be deemed intelligent.
