The whole thing is fascinating to me. Nevermind an accurate description of the origins of intelligent life, these sorts of arguments don't strike me as accurate descriptions of the origins of a given persons belief in gods. If we add the wrinkle of needing to include every example of intelligence it gets worse, not better.
Particularly because we will, at some point, arrive at the question of what, then, created or allowed for the divine intelligence...and any answer to that question serves as a very compelling answer to every subcategory of phenomena below it that we might have thought was a good anchor point for a belief that never had anything to do with any of it in the first place.
All we even could accomplish going this route, conceptually speaking , is form an argument against whatever it is we've rationalized our beliefs over.
