This is not the case. Look at crystals, soap bubbles, craters, etc., etc. These things all have an inherent order and there are simple explanations for them which don't require any kind of intelligence at all. In fact, what would be more convincing in the favor of some such "intelligence" is if soap bubbles WEREN'T round, given the laws of nature. An interesting book about how such seemingly ordered patterns come about quite naturally is "Laws of the Game". I don't remember who wrote the book, but it is definitely worth reading.
