How do you define intelligence? A great knowledge or intellect? A reservoir of fact and vocabulary? Since when did a breathing encyclopedia become a brilliant person?
No, the ability to think suggest intelligence – to reason, create, form new ideas. For it is through such people that all great ideas and philosophies were formed that you are busy reading about.
Indeed, I am confident that he who holds the key to God’s wisdom and knowledge will easily - even carelessly – outpace ever ‘intellectual’ who spent their entire life becoming brilliant. For it is said that “the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength” (1 Corinthians 1:25). Truly “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
Out of the mouth of a simple person can fall the greatest wisdom when he is a vessel of God. Indeed, God would rather use a simple one, lest the greatness of his words be attributed to his own intelligence. Instead, he who remains humble will be used for God’s glory to insult the intellects of our time.
Let us seek wisdom – from the only source of true wisdom – the spirit and truth of God. Let us spill His wisdom wherever he chooses to the advantage of his perfect plan.
Remain humble, and always remember the source of the power and wisdom flowing through you. For without God, we would return to our former state of eating grass.* Reflect the glory up, and please God. He is the only one worth pleasing.
*Daniel 4

Don't ask about the 'eating grass' comment. That is for you to figure out.
