Evolution requires only chance, variable degrees of persistence through time, and sufficient complexity that one persistent form will be able to interact with other persistent forms. That's it.
Can you give an example of an evolutionary system which satisfies your definition of evolution? Your definition of evolution doesn't refute the case I am making. I can simply say evolutionary systems which contain the elements of replication, heritable traits, change, and selection, seem to require intellect to be present to be implemented.
It only seems that way to you, not to the rest of us who understand that biological evolution doesn't require any intellect to get started or to carry on.
There is simply no need of your hypothesis.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
