Could you tell me whether the following sentence sounds fine?
Thank you.

Human beings are given intellectual omnipotence that god allow for them.

The word 'omnipotence' is wrong on 2 counts: in the first place, the word regarding intelligence is 'omniscience', and in the second place, 'omni-' words are perfect and non-gradable, so that by definition no one but *** is omniscient, omnipotent or omnipresent. I suppose that you mean this: Human beings are given the intellectual capacity that *** allows them.
