You showed your ignorance when you mentioned "thinking beaks into a shape". Intelligence can start with something as simple as knowing "that's a predator, avoid it" or "that's poisonous, don't eat it". As for that lion example, I've got news for you. Life isn't like a gladiator arena. The Romans threw slaves in with the lions knowing full well they were going to die, because even though the slave might be smarter than the lion, he was trapped in an arena where all that mattered was strength. But did you stop to think how the lion got there? That's right, because humans were smart enough to trap it. Why don't you explain how my thinking differs from that of most "evolutionists"? Because, as far as I can tell, I'm just citing basic principles of nature.
