Do you think it’s possible that human intelligence as we understand it to be, is in fact intelligence controlled by a higher intelligence in another dimension, and everything we think and believe to be true is in fact virtual?

This same question has been asked for at least 3,000 years, since the days of the ancient Greek philosophers. Hence the statement "I think, therefore I am." This basically states that you cannot _know_ anything to be fact, because your senses could be mistaken, or accepting input from some off-the-wall source. The only thing you can accept for fact is that you exist, somewhere in some fashion, because you are a thinking being.

Science is correct because it changes. We learn something new, and scientists change their thoughts.
There's no faith, corruption, etc. It is simply doing unbiased tests to learn about the world. No pride, nothing. Just complete curiosity that blows religion out of the water.
We have evidence that the world took billions of years to be what it is now. If you think that the world was made in 6 days, then you are totally retarded. And im not in the wrong to say that because the bible has been proven wrong by real evidence.

we want common sense, Empiricism, Skepticism, and we want to oscillate between deductive and inductive common sense continually. therefore, all experiments, or all theory, are both incorrect streets to tun on. once you've the oscillation going, you could play with the viscosity of the medium, and upload Analogy Reasoning, also. How is this alike or different? reason via learn-ism and evaluation-ism. What ought to flow out is nominalism and Idealism. because of them, both technological awareness AND faith are already incorrect. Mystical Spirituality is the Feminant source of All psychological being.

I think science and religion spend way to much time fighting each other. In fact, they're mutually inclusive.
Science is supposed to be the study, description and explaination of nature. God created nature and assigned Adam as the first scientist--tasking him to classify all life on earth.

Not at all. If it was so, science would allow us to discover this higher intelligence, just like we would discover God if he existed.
Religion IS wrong, that's why it's called religion, and not "truth". Get it?

ROFLMAO
True science and the True understanding of the Bible are both true.
No conflict.
Its xhristians and Liberal science that have nothing to do with the truth

There are scientists that have looked for confirmation of science in Bible texts. Perhaps both are true, with a little exploration, some scientists are studing that possibility.

Anything's possible, but does that mean you should stop looking for a scientific and/or religious explanation?
By the way, your scenario sounds a lot like religious one (belief with no proof).

yes!!! Man teaches religion the bible teaches the truth and we have been surely mislead by religion just as in Jesus days. Science makes advances and it always seems to be a draw back on it, as soon as you know it they are recalling alot of things.

Yes. Our understanding is really quite limited. The more questions we answer...the more we find. Infinity.
We could all be rats in the maze. Would the atheists and the agnostics be the control group?.........LOL
