The very comprehensibility of the world points to an intelligence behind the world. Indeed, science would be impossible if our intelligence were not adapted to the intelligibility of the world. The match between our intelligence and the intelligibility of the world is no accident.

Indeed, meat-puppet robots are just fine as the output of a Darwinian evolutionary process. ↗
