Not that the ID debate is boring or anything but a set of questions seems to be springing up for me around the topic: Is there a completeness or wholeness from which every partial or incomplete thing derives design after a set of derivative rules? Is there a drive toward or away from greater wholeness? Are we/existence becoming more complete? Is it only our perspective which is limited? Is information being created or is it being discovered?

"In fact you have intelligent life forms creatures doing (plenty of) the selecting."

Well, not even humans "select" "intelligently" much of the time! So you understand my quibble! :-)

All life does at least something: It LIVES. In your opinion...is there any living behavior that could (if it were to exist) fairly deserve the attribution of NOT intelligent life? In other words, is it possible in your weltanschauung to posit the possibility of life without intelligence? And if so...what conditions would evidence such a finding on your part?

Just seeking to clarify...
