Intuition

Belief in god is cultural issue. When a kid is raised in a culture that is influenced by such faith, that kid is likely to fall for it - but if the kid is forced to follow the culture, he/she will. Kids don't have resistance.

Human tendency is obviously egocentric - that one things one's culture is better for example. This leads to my religion is better. Just the way football fans support their team good or bad. They can even hate other teams and fight with their fans. At school level, students are made into teams and teams don't get along.

Human is basically superficial and egocentric. Unless one is exposed to a good family, culture, tradition, good teachers, etc, one is naturally to fall; won't become good automatically. if forced, one can become even worse. If exposed to worst culture, one can become a worst beast as human being.


It’s all about culture and also natural tendency of individuals. Culture is explained.

Tendency of a person is obvious too. That is what makes us different and unique and not robotic or mass-produced products. Due to such tendency, even smallest living organism (microbes) can get own personality.

Some people are smart from birth. Some are not. Even within a family, siblings have the differences. Genetic explanation got to get this far in explaining why even twins are different.

Some people are greedy some are not. Some are good in nature as some have short temper with either good or bad nature. Some are smart but do not have the heart for others. Some are smart enough to have a heart for others. Just consider all aspects of humanity. I hope science will explain it all sooner than later.

We use the word 'intuition' when we know something is right yet hard to explain. Sometimes we don't have enough idea how to explain it.
Intuition also happens when we have to feel something to happen - such as we might find the path (as in jungle) and as keep going you find the path (toward the village). Like it might rain tomorrow although it is sunny now and you have not heard the news and it might rain too - but you must rely on some commonsense though like seeing the cloud is building up.

However, intuition is for those who are uncertain. The more you learn, the less intuition is needed. Yes, intuition in math is obvious for kids who have to submit the calculation expecting the have the right answers. There they have to come into conclusion that they got it right and stop working on a problem.

Whenever a complex problem is there to solve, the need for intuition is obvious.
The more complex the problem, the more intuition is needed.
Hence superstition in real great events in history can be found - such as the battle won by the inferior side which the soldiers or the historians cannot explain how it happened. Consider this –

The Anglo-Spanish War: The Spanish Armada

Well speculations are speculations.

The more we understand, the less for intuition. But do have enough words to explain everything? Have we? No. sooner or later new words will come into the world to explain new findings. So the place for intuition is still necessary in science too. That is also called hypothesis. The gut feeling of something that it must be so - it can be right etc. intuition is not the good way to end the explanation. But evolutionary theory is still at its level of intuition too - especially when it comes from how life started on earth. Evolution is fine and well explained but when it comes to links, e.g. humans might come from a branch of monkey. Where is the evidence? NO!!! Nothing but it’s science!!! And thus we must accept it, huh?

lol yes I'm laughing.

There the more we feel sure, the less intuition involves. There is no need for intuition in 2+2=4. Should I still say 'I think I might get it right this time"? Maybe!
