And that is the intelligent part.

Do you believe that there's any such thing as an undirected natural process? Formation of a planet, formation of a storm, development of an embryo?

If so, do you think there's any valid way to model that process with a computer, or do you think any such effort would be flawed by the fact that the programmers had the goal of a storm or a birth in mind and weighted things that way?

No.

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Mat 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Psa 139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light [are] both alike [to thee].

Psa 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

Psa 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well.

Psa 139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Psa 139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all [my members] were written, [which] in continuance were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them.

Psa 139:17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

speaking of storms, weathermen are reviled to this day for being inaccurate. even with advanced computers, radar imaging, real-time data from numerous sources, and years of study they still can’t tell us with %100 certainty that it will or will not rain tomorrow. the reason being that even with all of that help they still lack all of the data necessary to model it all accurately.
does that mean that modern meteorology is flawed and we must start from scratch? no. we just need more data points to create better predictions.
