If God has infinite knowledge then would any subdivision of that knowledge also be infinite? That is the nature of infinity right? (eg. infinity + 1 = infinity, infinity/2 = infinity and so forth). So if Jesus had any part of the infinite knowledge of God then he would have had infinite knowledge himself, therefore I agree - no contest, he was the smartest person who ever lived (and the smartest who will ever live). Amazing that He bothered with Earth at all. This may also mean that when He asked why He had been forsaken, He really knew the answer and it must have been a rhetorical question - presumably for our benefit.
If God does not have infinite knowledge ( not something I am willing to accept!) then it is possible that Jesus may not have had infinite knowledge.

I've actually heard similar arguments given against religion, and against Jesus. The usual religious response is to say that people would have found some way to kill each other regardless of religion, regardless of Jesus or of Mohammed. I think that argument could be equally applied to the religion that Marx taught too, could it not?
