Detecting design or intent in nature

[Mudhammam]

Esquilax's argument is that our intellect is the result of evolution and therefore any intellects we create are ultimately the result of evolution.

The problem with his thinking is he assumes that evolution came first and intellect second. This assumption could be justified if it turned out that evolutionary systems can come into existence without the need of intellects. However once we observe lots of evolutionary systems coming into existence and they all require intellects, we can no longer have any confidence in the assumption that evolutionary systems can come into existence without intellect.

The observations that evolutionary systems seem to require intellects to come into existence suggest that perhaps intellect came first.

Yeah, Esquilax is correct. This post though, is probably one of the dumbest and most convoluted representations of otherwise relatively simple concepts I've come across.
