Present them, like me, with something beyond the Bible and I will rethink. You are projecting your own thoughts on this matter, that there is nothing that would convince you to change your mind, onto them and indeed me.
Aristotle apparently also believed in dualism, which you would presumably disagree with. Many of his era believed in the pantheon of Greek gods. Presumably you would agree that despite their being intelligent they were probably mistaken. There are plenty of intelligent people who, generally due to upbringing, believe in religious events when they would not for a moment countenance such fantastic things with such a lack of proof otherwise.
What is, however, beyond dispute is that there is an inverse correlation between intelligence and religious beliefs, so unsure what your point is on that one beyond answering a weak point with an equally weak one.
