Blades of grass do not need an intellect to come into existence. But a blade of grass is not a lineage of life....and we are talking about lineages of life.....not blades of grass. Your point is off topic and moot.

Nothing is ever observed to be the product of nature until it is observed to be a product of nature for the first time.
I agree, our lineage of life cannot be definitively said to be a product of nature because it hasn't been observed as such. It can only be speculated as such. And it looks as if we will have good reason to dismiss that speculation.
