Belief to me is the original error. it implies that I have to assume a truth. in reality I live with more than enough truths I know of, without the need to manufacture any assumed ones.
Believes and knowledge are not the different kinds of intelligence. The smarter the more civilized one is, the more she is prone to learn rather than to believe.
However, some natural phenomena seem to be miracles until we learn physics, then there is even more of a miracle because one cannot find the final truth. It is confusing only to the fools too lazy to learn.
