Your electrical circuits and coding are far more restrictive in terms of the applicable rules and outcomes than chemical combinations of atoms and molecules.

What would you define intelligence to be?

Really? How so? My work depends on predictable, deterministic behavior of chemical combinations of atoms and molecules. My work is far less delicate than the vastly more complex development and operation of highly specialized organs working in harmony for the preservation and continuance of a conscious, intelligent life form.

The positing of a question, to begin with. :)

When one looks at a painting like the Mona Lisa there is no doubt one knows a great artist painted it. So when one looks at nature or the universe it takes a great leap of illogic to conclude that there is no Creator.
