SETI demonstrates that the universe does not create intelligence because the Laws of nature do not allow for the creation of intelligence, absent the preexistence of programmed information.

What brought this on? Do you have some reasoning behind this assertion?

One only needs to look to the food industry for confirmation that life doesn't self-create. Billions of experiments have proved this out. A jar of peanut butter is the perfect organic raw material for life to self-create, including the exchange of energy via light and temperature; yet millions and millions of times this perfect raw material, when separated from the information of preexisting life, never self-creates.

The fact that random events in chemistry break up just as fast as they bind, nullifies the probability theorem of the infinite monkeys (in nature, the font that the monkey types disappears as the hammer retracts). Random events within the context of the Laws of Nature has no possibility of creating the complexity needed for life.

Couple this with manifold evidences of irreducible complexity found in living organisms, and Darwinian Evolution becomes a pipe-dream of the patched elbowed.
