Detecting design or intent in nature

I only know what I observe and what I observe is that evolutionary systems seem to require intellect to come into existence. My conclusion, that evolutionary systems require intellect is based on what I observe.....not on what I did not observe(un-like your conclusions).

Stop parroting this bullshit argument. The only intellects we know of--organic life forms here on Earth--are the PRODUCT of evolution. So it's not some nebulous, abstract "intellect," as in magical force that exists on its own, that you have evidence of-- it's a specific kind of intellect which arises only in specific circumstances. You don't get to equivocate on the intellect of these systems, which we mostly understand, and that of your fairy-tale god.

Let's play with some Heywoodian logic, just for fun. ALL examples of god that we know of are held in the minds of believers. Therefore, it's highly probably that god exists only in the minds of believers.
