What is genius? I think it’s safe to say that intelligence, creativity, and outside-the-box thinking are all part of making a genius a genius. This, of course, does not limit on which side of good or evil it is used. The devil is the ultimate evil genius. We humans are capable of ranging through the full gamut of genius output. The highest I.Q. recorded is a bit subjective but what I have found is 228. Albert Einstein's was estimated to be 160-170. The average I.Q. is between 85 and 115. 100 is considered to be normal. What is considered genius (mensa) is 130 or higher. Why am I going into this subject on my blog? It is not important that we are geniuses. The capacity to think outside the box or be highly creative does not mean we are of no merit. The thing that is important is the quality of our humanity toward others. No matter the IQ our ability to treat of others kindly, with compassion and justly is important. (John 15:12) IQ or some other measure of ability or status does not mean you are above the command Jesus left us to love one another as he loved us. He saw the heart not the IQ. The heart was His measure of a person's status with God. Having high status in this world took a back seat when it came to whether or not you were worthy to enter heaven or not. (Acts 1:20-26; Psalms 113:7-9)
Today I am sharing another image from Imagine & Do from Finland. Such drawing talent should be a celebration. This is one of several images the artist has created that are by far my favorites.
