Chameleon-like animals create simulations of the appearance of their background without the use of their intellect.

I think you're on to something. Think about it like Plato's cave, as Heywood's spider suggests. The world we perceive is limited to our senses, sight, hearing, touch, taste. But a bat's perception includes radar (playtypus' too BTW) and in many bats its radar perception out-stripes its sight and the nighttime world it perceives is quite different from ours. If discrete perception is all that's necessary to create a sub-reality than evolution has created many, many different sub-realities.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
