Is there intelligence hidden within DNA?
DNA can produce proteins that give it form and shape but what gives it the ability to seek out a target when formed. Is there really a sixth sense?

Maybe to be the "Hunter" or the "Hunted" stems from evolutionary instinct? Instinct is the inherent disposition of a living organism toward a particular action. Instincts are generally inherited patterns of responses or reactions to certain kinds of stimuli. In humans they are most easily observed in behaviors such as emotions, sexual drive, and other bodily functions, as these are largely biologically determined. Instinct provides a response to external stimuli, which moves an organism to action, unless overriden by intelligence, which is creative and hence far more versatile. Since instincts take generations to adapt, an intermediate position, or basis for action, is served by memory which provides individually stored successful reactions built upon experience. The particular actions performed may be influenced by learning, environment and natural principles. Generally, the term instinct is not used to describe an existing condition or established state.
Examples can more frequently be observed in the behavior of animals (most in the less intelligent species), which perform various activities (sometimes complex) that are not based upon prior experience, such as reproduction, and feeding among insects. Other examples include animal fighting, animal courtship behavior, and internal escape functions.
It may be worth noting that no being is bound absolutely by instinct. Though instinct is what seems to come naturally or perhaps with heredity, general conditioning and environment surrounding a living being play a major role.
Instinct is pre-intellectual, while intuition is trans-intellectual.

ID (like god) explains nothing while posing as an explanation for that which remains, at least for some, to be explained. ID teaches us nothing about the way reality works. But at every turn, as we acquire more knowledge of the facts and our understanding of how a particular facet of reality works increases, ID (and god) are invariably found to mysteriously vanish from the picture, only to be reinstated at the next step of acquiring more knowledge by the same weary age old mischievous conjurers of devious tricks.
When I first came across the term Intelligent Design I naturally assumed it was a theory about aliens coming here and having a hand in the planet's species development. Found it hard to believe it when I discovered it wasn't that, but the same existing creationist beliefs repackaged. I don't mind folk believing in things that I don't, but they should argue their case honestly rather than try to market it repackaged under a different brand name.
