For the Record...
Larken RoseHere, have a bunch of unsupported assertions, which I know will offend and annoy lots of people who consider themselves scientific (but aren't), while being irrelevant to my usual anti-political theme.

Love it!
My only real comment would be, considering the size and complexity of nature and the universe...
and, considering how little we really know...
and how little we understand about the things we DO know...
how much closer do we need to come to something that describes God than whatever it is that is behind the "intent" of the universe?
Religions might talk "God." They might use the word "God" with authority. But the only religious folks that CLAIM that they understand God, are the IDIOTS who think that man is God Incarnate.
I hope you are right Larken. You clearly have given this some thought.
As a start I look forward to your disproving the theory of evolution. I suspect you will fail. But the theory can never be proven and it certainly has uncomfortable explanations offered for discrepancies. But it holds up well to a testable hypothesis when it comes along.
And to your future projects....
One other little thought... and this might scare some, but it is not intended to do so.
If there is "intent" in the design of a universe as complicated as this one, might there be (and there probably is) "observation?"
Consider, if we make a highly complicated electronic device - by intent - even though we may not constantly watch every operation that the device does - like all the operations that a computer might go through to carry out its programing - yet we leave the door open to do so. In other words, we are able to look at the electronic circuitry under a microscope. And we are able to examine the programs (the Operating Systems) that make the electronic device work.
Is it possible that the THING that intended that the universe be designed the way it has been, might be able to look into every nook and cranny of the universe in every way? Might IT be able to examine every aspect of the space-time continuum the same way we examine a circuit board under a microscope? Might IT be able to examine the operations of the universe in a way similar to the way we examine software programming?
Are we being watched by SOMETHING far bigger than the Government could ever hope to be?
