Intelligent life
A bird for example, is an intelligent creature in that way that a bird is an intelligent construction. The bird's construction demands more abilities and intelligence than what the bird's own abilities and intelligence is able to. In this way a bird with its limited abilities, is an intelligent creature. All living creatures on earth are intelligent constructions independent of each creature's own mental abilities.
The elements are exactly adapted to form the basis of life, and therefore the elements can be seen as a part of the intelligent system of life. Not all of the elements are included in the system of life; the others can be seen as in proportion to the system of life.
The reason why I write this is to draw a parallel between the birds and us humans in this context. We humans are more intelligent than birds, but we humans have not constructed our creatures either.
I think that for us humans it apply to be the same. The human's construction demands more abilities and intelligence than the human's personal abilities and intelligence is able to. This more intelligence has to exist. The whole world, with the universe around us which our world arises out of, indicates that great intelligent abilities exist.
