Maybe we should take this one at time. Did our intelligence come from nature? A related question which evolutionists (or perhaps we should say materialists) need to answer is how come with the same genetic makeup, with the same brain material, intelligence, not just among humans, but between humans and different species differ so much?

evolutionists (or perhaps we should say materialists)
Not all materialists need be evolutionists, and vice-versa. I am a diest evolutionist, and I do not fit into the definition of materialist. Please refrain from accusations,generalizations and name-calling.
