"Intelligent" doesn't mean "cares about the truth", anymore than "intelligent" means "moral/ethical". Intelligent more than likely just means maximizes goals while expounding the least effort. I've known quite a few intelligent religious people, and their goals simply aren't to find "the truth". To them, religion is more like cheesecake.
The original specified "and rational".
Affirm this reply. It certainly wasn't the intelligent part that prompted my objection.
