Oh, and by the way, absolutely everything in the universe is proof of intelligence. It's been said before: A proposal that professes to explain all relevant data, yet predicts nothing in particular, and which will accommodate any data that may hereafter be discovered, is a proposition that cannot be tested or falsified, has no genuine explanatory power at all, and therefore doesn't qualify to be termed a scientific theory.

Start with what Patrick Henry said in #713.
Any hypothesis not grounded in facts, supportable with evidence, or falsifiable through testing is utterly meaningless.
