Detecting design or intent in nature

[Mudhammam]

Assuming your world view is right, why did nature only create one evolutionary system? Nature doesn't create just one cave or one vortex, etc. Why did all the other evolutionary systems that have come since all required intellects? You can't credibly argue that conditions changed because new evolutionary systems can be readily implemented by intellects now....without even trying.

Why did nature result in two nuclear forces, one universal law of gravitation, and the electromagnetic force? I'm sure a physicist might have some idea but then I suspect you'll ask "Why?" ad infinitum. Your question is better suited as: "How did evolution of biological forms begin?"; "Is it a rare event?"; and "Can life evolve by a different set of principle interactions?" Nobody knows the answers for the first two and the third seems to be answered in your misguided insistence that humans can moderately imitate the changes they systematize through empirical and philosophical investigation. In fact, we see evolution occur in a variety of analogies to natural selection, including language, and our application of specialized knowledge to different goals, such as in reconstructing genomes or designing computers. In none of these cases is evolution guided by a single intellect---as in language---instead it happens largely accidentally and not by design. The same is true with chemical changes within genes that allow for one species to thrive and thus be specially prone to adaptation, as it becomes suited for successful migration into new environments. In no instance can you or anyone else show that natural selection ever involves anything but the basic forces within an environment interacting with a replicator---but most importantly, nor can you demonstrate what advantage introducing an UNOBSERVED intellect has over chance and necessity, which ARE observed in gene mutation and survival of the fittest. All your analogies to human imitation are simply that, analogies, and fail to adequately apply to natural change in much the same way that gravity doesn't become an intelligent force simply because we can reproduce its effects in simulation.
