Not as far as humans go...as far as fact-gathering..I suppose so..but Pure intellegence..no way. This earth always drags those types back down.

I believe that this question may have a different meaning for everyone; it depends upon one's point of view, as well as how one defines the word intelligence.
The most commonly used definition of intelligence, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is as follows:
(1) : the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations : REASON; also : the skilled use of reason (2) : the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (as tests)
As our ability to learn never ceases (it may decrease, but never disappears entirely), intelligence in this definition of the word is entirely infinite.
Personally, I usually equate knowledge with intelligence in a question such as this. I believe that knowledge is constantly growing and evolving; even though there may be a finite amount of human knowledge, there will always be more that we do not know. There will always be some corner left unexplored, some rock left unturned. Also, since the universe is constantly changing, one person cannot possibly know everything. Thus, intelligence is indeed infinite.

Awise question indeed but what is inteeligence is it what you can measure how smart you are or is it just the way that you can take things and make them into intelligence maybe either one is right but one thing is certain infinite intelligence maybe that should be kept to the gods and mother nature because with that power humans would be clones of the intelligence we would be nothing but but shells in a way shells that want everything stop at nothing to get new intelligence even if they cant wars plagues imagine it. that is my theory

How can our limited knowledge answer that question?
How can the limited see the unlimited?
I think we can only imagine the unlimited intelligence, but our imaginations are just the product of this limited outlook.
The image that we created is not the truth about the indescribable.
I think an honest reply is to accept that we have no idea about the unlimited intelligence.
This does not mean that you brush aside the question, it means I need to find out what is true by unconditional observation.
To affirm or deny that intelligence is phony, you cannot go any further.

Infinite Intelligence, Collective Consciousness, The Great Mind....whatever you want to call it. Yes, I believe it exists. How else would I hear someone's thoughts or know of a future event days or even years before it happens?
Where do you think (real) psychics get there information?

have to argue with the masses...
there always seems to be a limit to intelligence
but there never seems to be an end to stupidity.
any single mistake would give me cause to discount anything claiming infinite intelligence.

Einstein said he was discovering god by understanding the laws of the universe. Humans don't possess infinite intelligence, but it's all around us.

we've only 5 senses to determine out reality. Infinite intelligence would be like trying to understanding god or trying to explain to a person who has always been blind what blue looks like.

sure! it's just not possessed by anyone, that's all =(
although, it seems rather unlikely since one can only have as much intelligence as the brain allows. with the brain, there would always be limits. it's like a multiplication! you can never get "infinite" multiplying finite numbers.

Individual infinite intelligence? If there is, we certainly haven't seen any evidence of it in the entire history of mankind's existence.
