HIV and Intelligent Design

Humans can design things.  Humans can make plans.  Therefore, a product of evolution (people) can plan and design.  Since humans are made of matter, it follows that certain types of matter can design and plan other types of matter.

The question is, did this ability originate with humans, or did it evolve earlier?  Indeed, is it an inherent part of the process of evolution itself?  In other words, can the "process of evolution" (the grand designer, if you will) plan and design future beings?

If it could, it would need a way to "stand outside" of the organism it was designing or modifying, and be able to step back and observe how well it was doing.  So, what type of DNA can be transferred from one organism to the next (and perhaps pass on a signal of some sort). 

Why, HIV, of course!  HIV can be transmitted from one person to another, and the genetic material becomes integrated with the DNA of the new host.  HIV has an exceptional knowledge of monkey (and now human) DNA, since it is able to exploit many other genes in the host to replicate itself.  So it could be thought of as extra-human DNA!

The process of evolution (as we currently understand it) involves an early death of the host (before he/she can bear children).  In other words, if you're not innately fast enough to evade a predator, you get eaten.  In the same way, the HIV virus could be bringing an early death to certain weakened individuals (such as those with tuberculosis), as part of an "intelligent design" scheme.  It gets treacherous to speculate, of course, because there is no proof for any of this, yet.
