>Why shouldn't we take the approach in favor of intelligence when explaining nature?
It would be helpful if you could explain a bit more what you mean by intelligence. Without first explaining this, your discussion falls bit flat: we don't have any clue what sort of intelligence (if any at all) we are looking for and we can't assume that the world conforms to our sort of intelligence. Just because some phenomena seem to follow what you (or anyone else) considers to be intelligent, it does not follow that the world is that way or that you are correct in thinking that this is actually intelligent (what you think is intelligent may be incorrect). Hence we have to be very careful not to project our familiar view of things onto the world since our view of intelligence could easily be leading us astray.
You should check out Peter Godfrey-Smith's new book (2009) on evolution called, "Darwinian Populations". He has an extended discussion about the psychological approach of agents and design in biological explanation.
