In order for the following Intelligent Design Conjencture to be true, several conditions must be met :
- Darwin's theory of Evolution must be true.
- Evolution is Turing Complete.
- Evolution will proceed faster in a faster computational medium.
- Hard Artificial Intelligence is feasible.
A good scientific theory must be able to make predictions which can be evaluated by observation.
Darwin's (and Wallace's) theory of evolution, hereafter referred to as "the theory of evolution", is a good scientific theory, its claims have been verified by observation of fossil records from the past. The theory of evolution predicts that some sentient beings, given enough time, are going to evolve intelligence, and that humans are but one example of such a thing.
The time required for humanity, from when we gained full-sapience to modern technology, was roughly 200,000 years.
Evolution from sentience to partial-sapience or full-sapience requires billions of years, and not all species succeed in reaching it.
Given that a species is capable of full-sapience, there is a high probability of that species existing and continuing to develop their technology along the timeline required for it to evolve sapience. It is highly probable that a species will observe other powers, possessing greater intelligence, by the time they reach sapience. Which is to say that, if we take a random sample of species evolving naturally from a universe-sized box, most of them are going to observe powers possessing greater intelligence by the time they reach sapience.
A technological civilization of a sapient species may catalyze the evolution of other sapient species, either via natural intelligence catalyzation or artificial intelligence catalyzation. This intelligence catalyzation process may be deliberate or non-deliberate. Note the following definitions:
Deliberate natural intelligence catalyzation will happen if the technological species provolves, trains or teaches less developed sentient beings to develop their technological capability.
Non-deliberate natural intelligence catalyzation will happen if the less developed sentient beings watch and learn what an already technological species does.
Deliberate artificial intelligence catalyzation happens if the technological species artificially creates intelligent agents having full-sapient capability.
Non-deliberate artificial intelligence catalyzation happens if the artificial intelligence unexpectedly results from an experiment conducted by technological species.
If a technological species happens to discover space travel, the extreme difference in conditions between worlds may force them to deliberately catalyze the evolution of new intelligent species for their economic or memetic purpose. Which means that a naturally evolved technological species may catalyze the evolution of more than one sapient species.
Since the evolution process goes faster in a faster computronium, most species are going to be derived from evolution inside faster computronium.
A naturally evolved brain is a faster computronium than a natural chemical process or the biological evolution of pre-sapient beings. The development of technology means an increase in computation demand, which fuels the development of even faster and more effective computronium.
Consequently, if we take a random species in this universe, there is a higher probability that they will be the result of evolution in the ideosphere of a technologically advanced species, rather than purely the result of natural evolution. This in turn indicates that, if we take a random species in this universe, there is a higher probability that they will have been created by a technologically advanced beings (very far more advanced than the created species, bordering on godlike), rather than the result of natural evolution.
