Detecting design or intent in nature

[bennyboy]

So you made up the definition and made up that it requires intellect?

Negative Mr Wizard.

I made up the definition and then observed that no such systems(which contain the elements of replication, heritable traits, change, and selection) has ever been observed coming into existence without [organic, Earth-based, within-the-last-ten-thousand-years]intellect. I further observed that when ever we could observe such a system coming into existence it always required an intellect. I then concluded from my observations that it is likely that all such systems require intellect to come into existence.

Fixed it for you. Why even talk about evolution? What you're really saying is: "Intellect exists, therefore God." If you want to talk about actual evolution, then it exists in a set of one-- it does not have parallels to things made by man, because man wasn't around when the evolution of species began.

If my conclusion is wrong, it should be easy to show it is wrong by presenting an example of such a system which is known not to have required intellect. Please present an observation which falsifies my argument.

Please present an observation which falsifies my argument that there's a Magic Space Monkey hiding behind the sun. You can't? Oh, then it must be true.
