OK, if we accept the idea that all men are created equal... what does that mean? Mac, I bet you have yet to meet your equal. I've never met anybody as well-versed in multiple topics and just plain naturally intelligent as you. ...



You don't get out much? <g>

Seriously, this statement shows a failure to understand the basic premise that "equality" has nothing to do with a man's abilities, rather it is a recognition of our INabilities.

The actual founding document gets taken out of context in order to make such a statement.

"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal."

Now we must identify the actual and real salient points upon which that equality is based, we cannot arbitrarily decide for ourselves that a certain aspect of someone's personality makes them "more equal" or "less equal" than someone else.

Humility.

There is quite the difference between knowledge and wisdom.

I am absolutely convinced that the full sum of human knowledge is but a miniscule -- and fractional -- part of the knowledge that our Creator possesses.

The premise you offer begs to create an aristocracy of the so-called learned class.

No thanks.
