Before one can acknowledge the supernatural, one must have evidence for it. Any evidence, by its nature, would be natural, obviating the need for the supernatural.

You're on your own here.

I would argue that nature does not create or possess intelligence. Therefore any evidence of intelligence we come across in nature would have originated from a supernatural intelligence.

In other words "Life was created".

This is an unsupported assertion. As I said, you are going to have to supply evidence that would corroborate your claims.

At which point it's turtles all the way down.

"I would argue that nature does not create or possess intelligence."

And it seems to have done just fine without it, too, doncha think?

Unfounded assumption. You are concluding your premise.
