I deliberately used the phrase "intelligence driven design" rather than Intelligent Design, to avoid direct association.
Is intelligence involved in the process of selecting a sexual partner?
The idea is to consider whether intelligence involves "the mind" and to what extent the mind is considered a physical thing.
Hi Sinequanon. The problem I see with trying to apply this to the TOE is that before any form of intelligence evolved into living organisms there would be no intelligence to factor into the evolution process.
It's easy to argue the ID factor by natural processes after the fact that intelligence is present in some fashion but the hard part is the earlier eons of life's existence without any intelligence whatsoever. Perhaps the mathmatical probabilities of ID evolution life origins would be beyond possibility.
