Obviously the snowflake was not consciously designed, but was the result of unintelligent natural processes. I'm not trying to argue that the snowflake was designed by an intelligence, so let's get that straight. It has features of design: high degrees of geometric symmetry and irregularity.
Remember, you asked what design doesn't require intelligence, I said a snowflake, and now you seem to be disagreeing. Are you saying that a snowflake does require intelligence? If not, then we are on the same page and I don't see why you are asking me about it.
No, I'm asking for your evidence that it was designed. "Was designed" and "features that look designed" are two different things, and my question is specific to the former.

By definition, design requires intelligence, a plan, intention, thought. Maybe you'd like to try another example of something that is designed but doesn't require intelligence?
It looks like it goes under number two. If you are going to define design as something that requires intelligence, then it is by definition impossible to find an example of design that did not require intelligence.
