      Natural Selection is a form of Guess and Check problem solving, could you agree? How does an intelligent being solve problems? There is definitely a functioning logical system capable of making connections but this is really just another tool that's been naturally selected. It's not the only tool, we also come complete with an imagination function allowing us to test ideas out and follow them to their logical conclusions. But is this system, in itself, intelligence?

      Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
