We have seen evolution happen in nature, as a consequence of random genetic change and the resultant organism's subsequent interactions with the environment. Given that those are the only consistently detectable elements to natural evolution, and your only argument for intelligence in it is "I can't see how this could happen naturally," then there's no reason for us to provide anything more than the simple observations. We can observe the natural, unguided evolution, and you haven't provided us anything that would suggest that an intelligence is involved; you're attempting to add in a layer of complexity for which there's no evidence and no reason to believe beyond that you want to.
The burden of proof lies with you, as you're making the positive claim beyond what is evident.
