It seems every evolutionary system....including memetic ones, required either intellect to design them or intellect to be the selective mechanism in them. Why then should I make a special case for the evolutaryary system which produced me and believe that somehow it is different and didn't need an intellect to design it or be substantially involved in the selection mechanism?
Who designed the designer? If you do not want to make special exceptions, you are forced to exclude the granddaddy of all special exceptions: the uncaused cause.
