That's not a great example because it's brawn vs. brain.
But the brain is a physical part of the body. Our beliefs get hard-coded into our brain/body. They get passed down genetically. Some people have a stronger connection to their ancestral beliefs because of their biology which they have no control over. BUT they can change their beliefs and they can get new "hard coding" onto their existing brains.
I'm not sure what you mean. Sometimes I think I could be a doctor in some easy specialized field. But I'm too lazy to do the academic work. I would rather watch TV.
It doesn't matter to me what 90% of early Christians believed. People have not really evolved in their religious beliefs since then. When I read the Bible I get a different understanding, and I don't understand how anyone else could not see.

would you say there are levels of doctoring?
how about an artist? can we all be artists? singers? musicians? I don't mean just draw, sing, or play, I mean are we all as good as everybody else around us?
Do you think that everybody can process how people are being people? all equally?
Not in any way. Unless God evolves too. But I tend to think that people are the same today as they were when the Psalmists were alive.
So why do you think that? How do you how the Psalmists lived? How have you come to a deep understanding about how those people who lived in the Middle East were living and thinking a couple of thousand years ago? Who were they...exactly?
A Christian told me today that Christianity is the only TRUE religion and that all other religions are "False" religions. So is Christianity the only TRUE religion?
The issue I have with these types of statements is what does being a good, kind, decent moral human have to do with being caught up in arguments for a specific religion being the one true religion?
What exactly does that do for a person's character? Nothing.
People who spend their entire lives running around trying to promote their god or their religion are not working towards bettering themselves or humanity.
Instead of finding their own path to higher consciousness and spiritual growth, they instead waste their time and attention on proselytizing their god or their religion.
This is why you find that those who self proclaim religion and their god the loudest are the ones who display no higher consciousness, show zero inner peace, often times display a lack of moral character and zero spiritual development.
Religion really is dead but those who cling to it as a life line don't know it.
