You won't because you can't.
Heywood, your argument fails to remember a very simple rule of rational discourse:
That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
Rhythm keeps claiming observations exist which support proposition 2. Maybe you can remind him to follow that very simple rule of rational discourse.

- we know intellects can implement evolutionary systems
- we have not found any evidence of evolutionary systems being implemented without intellects.
- it therefore seems likely that the evolutionary system which created us was implemented by an intellect.
Your faith that the evolutionary system which created you did not need an intellect to be implemented is not evidence.
