First of all I want to make clear that this topic isn't about ID.
On wikipedia I read this definition of NS:
Not too long ago I saw this story about intelligent bacteria:
Further down the article u can read how bacteria behave and 'help' each other out in different situations, some even sacrifice themselves by committing suicide.
So is natural selection driven by intelligence?
On wikipedia I read this definition of NS:
Natural selection is the phrase used in evolutionary biology to describe the fact that individual organisms should tend to differ in reproductive output when they differ from each other in their ability to tackle the challenges posed by their biological and physical environment.

Not too long ago I saw this story about intelligent bacteria:
...Yet the humble microbes may have a rudimentary form of intelligence, some researchers have found. The claims seem to come as a final exclamation point to a long series of increasingly surprising findings of sophistication among the microbes, including apparent cases of cooperation and even altruism. But there is no clear measurement or test that scientists can use, based on the behavior alone, to determine whether it reflects intelligence.
