Don't assume that a species is intelligent because it produces intelligent individuals.

Intelligent design is eminently falsifiable. Specified complexity in general and irreducible complexity in biology are within the theory of intelligent design the key markers of intelligent agency. If it could be shown that biological systems like the bacterial flagellum that are wonderfully complex, elegant, and integrated could have been formed by a gradual Darwinian process (which by definition is non-telic), then intelligent design would be falsified on the general grounds that one doesn't invoke intelligent causes when purely natural causes will do. In that case Occam's razor finishes off intelligent design quite nicely.
William A. Dembski
The better class of Briton likes to send his children away to school until they're old and intelligent enough to come home again. Then they're too old and intelligent to want to.
Malcolm Bradbury
We have intelligent species on our planet that we are not even trying to communicate with.
Paul Watson
It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but rather the one most adaptable to change.
Charles Darwin
It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but rather the one most adaptable to change.
