Too many people get stuck on the idea that humans and intelligent life are 
like the goals of a deterministic process when nothing could be further from 
the truth. Evolution has no agenda, people are not special and it is simply 
the best stratigy for the evironment is going to be the one that comes to 
dominate.
The idea that evolution was "programmed" at the start makes the assumption 
that the programmer had knowlege of all the environmental changes that would 
happen over 1,000,000,000 or more years. A premise that sounds somewhat less 
likely than the premise of natural selection.
So, no. there was no magical programmer to set everything in motion. There 
is no merit to discuss ID in a scientific framework.
