If that was supposed to be an answer to my challenge, it's not.
I note that the source correctly says, | Quote | | Biological evolution can be considered as a form of trial and error. Random mutations and sexual genetic variations can be viewed as trials and poor reproductive fitness, or lack of improved fitness, as the error. Thus after a long time 'knowledge' of well-adapted genomes accumulates simply by virtue of them being able to reproduce. |
That is not the same as "making a guess" or "learning from a guess", and it does not require anything that anyone other than you considers fall within the province of either "intelligence" or "design". The use of 'knowledge' is metaphorical and is put in scare quotes, and would be better replaced by "information", because it is perfectly correct to say that information accrues in the genome. However, information is not intelligence.
