Intuition is by my definition... and in a business sense relating to rationality: a subconscious process of the brain that relates past experience to the current scenario, and draws conclusions based on those past experiences. I think there have been studies to show that this is what happens when people experience what they call intuition. (again that's my definition not the dictionary's or a legitimate sources :P)

It's the same reason that they say when you're sort of guessing something, it's normally best to go with your first thought.

I don't think you should apply intuition to God, because you don't have any valid past experience to draw from. You're intuition is likely derived from indoctrination, as with many things. But most beliefs can be in some way supported by science or practical means... where as spiritual matters are an exception.

And if I did what my emotions told me to all the time, I would probably be dead by now.
