Is it because God made some people intelligent and some not intelligent....

Intelligence is simply one's ability to learn and understand.
Not everyone has the same level of intelligence for the same subjects.
Those that have a hard time with math for example, may be more intelligent in the arts and vice versa.
Someone that is intelligent and creative in writing may be less intelligent in science.
You probably know of someone who seems really really smart (intelligent) yet when asked a simple question that requires common sense, takes a long time or can't even answer it. Again, a different kind of intelligence.
While I think there are some individuals that seem more intelligent than others, its because they are good at what they are doing. If you find something you are good at, you are probably intelligent in that area.
Everyone is different which is a good thing. What a boring world this would be if everyone was intelligent and good at the same things!

You could ask yourself, " why are some students taller than others. Intelligence has genetic influence, just like any other human trait. It is a real property of brains, called G, for general intelligence. It is mostly about the ability to solve a myriad of problems. Some people will try to use an ideological rationalization, called " multiple intelligences ", which has no empirical support.
A person above was talking about your car mechanic being more intelligent in fixing cars. This is nonsense. If a really intelligent person put his mind to mechanics, he would far outstrip the average car repairman.
Natural selection had all to do with human intelligence. The god hypothesis is not needed here.

There are gifted people naturally intelligent. I have often taught about this, alto of intelligent people who i have met all share the same thing the power to concentrate intensely on there chosen subjects.
Intelligence, will and concentration can produce amazing resutls. Im dyslexic, i loved my subject science and could concentrate well eventually I got an Bsc and Msc.

You just need to focus you attention and care about making yourself better and smarter.
Dont let other people distract you. It doesnt matter who said that guy likes or what that girl was wearing. Those things wont matter didley when you go out in the real world with the brain that you have. Focus your attention on your school and the rest of the real fun will come later.
That is a whole heck of a lot harder to do than it sounds, but you can do it!

Some students are more intelligent than others because their parents push and help them to get good grades. The kids probably work hard and school, don't goof off, listen to what the teacher says, and they do their work.

They have different intelligences and different ways of learning.
Are you more intelligent than your automobile mechanic?
Probably not in fixing automobiles.
Will students learn from a teacher who only speaks French?
Maybe students who speak or understand French.
(This is just an example to different ways of learning: learning through experience, through communicated instruction, or through actual physical,mental guidance).
Ultimately, in this unperfect world, it is most often the priviledged who gets the opportunities that actually work.

In terms of the basic intellectual equipment, yes. Genetics is the primary mechanism. In terms of what you do with what you were given, that's up to you, strongly influenced by your parents and those around you. Less intelligent, or less strong, or less 'beautiful' in no way implies of less value.
