Greater Intellect:
"When I first determined that I should do my own thinking I decided I was going to go entirely on the basis of experimental evidence. And that kind of evidence is a very large resource as I found that we can also draw on the experiences of our friends; through our reliable friends we can accent much of the data of science as part of our experience inventory.
"I use the word belief to describe men accepting the explanations of physical phenomena without experimental evidence to confirm them. So I gave up all my beliefs–clearing my deck of any of them.
"But possibly the majority of human beings are deeply moved by the knowledge of some greater power operative in our Universe… You do have experiences that force you to assume that a greater intellect is operating than that of humans. I am forced to conclude that we do.
“Design is related to intellect: as a deliberate arrangement”
