I am new to affforums, and it looks like there's some very interesting communications been posted. I almost said intelligent, but I really would like to know what you people think -- the purpose of intelligence? --
looking forward to learning from all of you.

:rolleyes:

Is this a trick question ???

No, this is not a trick question. It has been said that we are looking for -- intelligent life in the universe -- what do we mean by intelligent life? What is the purpose of intelligence? Is intelligent, different from instinct?

what do we mean by intelligent life?

Isnt the theory on intelligent life to use it to yours or someone elses advantage ?

What is the purpose of intelligence?

Lots of different purposes,,,,,one being to better oneself..


Is intelligent, different from instinct?

Instinct is something your born with and intelligence is something you learn as u grow....

TennWH, welcome to the forums. But for reference, note that we do have a "Religion/Philosophy" section of the website for this kind of discussion.

Red, thank you for your response. From your answers would it be correct to say, that Roosevelt, Churchill and Hitler were probably equally intelligent?

Evakian, thank you for your information, but I am of the opinion that the answers from people on -- this n' that --chat will probably serve my purpose. rather than get in a religious debate
