Detecting design or intent in nature

[Angrboda]

Let me see if I can sum up this argument.

If all evolutionary systems or the implementation of them involve intellects, then the original biological evolutionary system likely involves intellects.

You challenge us to find one evolutionary system that doesn't involve intellects.

Let's eliminate the major classes. Plants? Nope, part of biology. Animals? Nope, involves minds. Viruses, bacteria? Nope.

So what are we left with? Rocks and water. So your conclusion is that if I can't find rocks or water that naturally forms an evolutionary system, the odds are the universe's creation involves intellect.

Consider me underwhelmed by the persuasiveness of your argument.

But wait. In Dawkins' the Blind Watchmaker, there's a chapter about how silicates (clay) could form an evolutionary system! Holy coinkydink, Batman!
