I concur Coyote. Intelligence is a subjective term which requires an "intelligent" agent/entity which expresses this "intelligence".
To say that sand, molecules and atoms expresses "intelligence" is inane and ridiculous. By doing so that everything is intelligent. And as Syndrome aka Buddy (Mr. Indredible's would-be sidekick) says in the move 'The Incredibles': "And when everyone's super (replace with the word 'intelligent')--no one will be."
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.Dr. Carl Sagan
