Using the word "evolution" interchangeably with "evolutionary theory" is a "layman's" way of defining scientific terms. Experienced scientist will often correct you, or at least should.
I am able to avoid the whole mess by being specific as to which level of "development" is being discussed, which includes molecular LEVEL intelligence that is responsible for developing the phenotype of a species.
Technically I also have a theory to help explain how living things "evolved", but with all the confusion over terms it's best that I do not waste time with a generalization that does not help explain the origin of biological life/intelligence, species, etc..
--------------
The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.
