Fascinating discussion.
I myself, am of the opinion that the Human quest for answers, creates the perception of intellegence as we know it. That is not to say we truly have the intellect, combined or otherwise, to accept the answers before us. As far as the inevitable nature of life in this universe, I do feel as if the energy patterns in this particular incarnation of the cosmos (given the likelyhood of multiple dimentions) are designed to produce life as we know it. That said, I find it equally likely that OUR perception of life/intellegence is limited by the very nature of our physical structure, and until the next phase of our evolution(Mental) we will likely not be capable of answering the fundamental questions this thread creates.
Intellegent design, from my limited understanding of it, seems to have Valid points, but a vague nature that creates the gray area that instills confusion and distaste to those who are used to the scientific method. The Big Bang theory is just that, A theory, and splendid in its ability to change with new Data, as do all scientific theories. Even the so called "Laws" of physics are subject to modification as we expand the base of knowledge , and tweak the reality we percieve.
Guess my short reply would be:
I simply do not know who/what created the universe........the Joy comes in attempting to find out.
