Genius comes from brains that work better and use more brain area than brains of average people.

That's really not true, the discovery of the heliocentric model of the universe or the concept of gravity were not out of the blue, they were based on information and experience gathered by many!

Re: is genius inspired by God

Yes! Genius/original thought is inspired by God. All knowledge exist with God. When we humble ourselves to trust and ask God for knowledge, our Father reveals his answers to us through our spiritual network (i.e. soul). Our souls convey His knowledge to our intellect in the form of imaginations, dreams or ideas. A genius has the will power to manifest knowledge from our intellect into the existence of our physical realm. It profounds our human imagination, in that only a rare number of us trust our faith in our Father for knowledge.

Matt21 [22] And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Re: is genius inspired by God

Let's look at it another way then...

Would not ignorance and hatred also be inspired by God by the above logic?
