Angels are very smart.
Lucifer, in heaven, convinced numerous angelic beings that he was right and God was wrong, and led them into a rebellion the result of which shall be their eternal destruction.

We've acquired a taste for that warm and squishy religion surrounding us on every side. We don't think that God would allow us to be deceived.
