What is the point?
A creator? A person? Or some kind of natural process that has always been going on?

We are only an intelligent species in relation to the other animal species on Earth. Being more intelligent than everybody else does not necessarily mean that we're very intelligent. I think that the vast majority of us are still very instinctual. We live by what "feels right". We mock new ideas because newness puts us out of our comfort zone. However, if you are talking about new ideas as in superstitious or pseudo-scientific ones, I do think that those ones should be mocked because, when taken seriously by a large number of people, they can do a lot of unnecessary damage. We should be open-minded enough to give careful thought to new ideas, but not open-minded enough to accept anything and everything.
Careful now. The dolphins and porpoises may be as smart as we are. And do not underestimate the cephalapods. We are probably the smartest primates.

We should be intelligent enough to manage our affairs with minimum damage to each other and to the planet which sustains us. It seems we have not managed that.

We are primates. Like the chimps we are natural born killers. The only reason why the great apes have not damaged the planet is because they never developed the technology to do it.

To add to that Dolphins may be as intelligent as us and just not have hands to actually build things with.

That building things is uncritically something marvelous is doubtful. Dolphins do quite well without it. Termites and ants and bees, on the other hand, are quite clever at building things.
