Evolution without accidents and also no intelligence?

I'm curious. How do you know that all living things have minds, much less subconscious minds? Faith? 

Maybe not great for debating, but in my worldview it is definitional.  Mind is an abstract term that defines actions within informational environments as detection of affordances.  Minds act on information objects and can detect and restructure their order to anticipate future states.  Picture the earth, or any planet in the known universe, as it cools down from geological formation, life is not active yet.  The Materialistic idea is of some "magic" chemical event starting life, life that will only have mind after achieving a certain level of physical complexity.  This is a just-so story.

The early earth would be characterized as deterministic to physical processes.  YET, as some stage of physical evolution of the planet, new shit starts to happen.  The informational environment grows as events have their information copied.  Mutual information, with early mind, interacts and then is structured into informational objects.  This activity is all happening as probability manipulation.  In the informational environment basic mind is active experiencing and altering the unfolding course of these real world probabilities.  With mind using just past and future probability it can realize new vectors for life and both physical and mental environments start changing in new ways.

Rather than faith, scientific observation has documented how information is real and causative.  It is science that is equal to physics and materials subject matter.  Mind experiences past, actual and future probabilities as the "stuff" and relates these in such a way as to change entropy of a local system.  Mind uses direct perception of probability waves to import mutual information.  Mind can organize real world probabilities into states of being where a local system of information activity can exert physical influence via states of being.

Rather than a definition based on Physicalism, mind in an informational environment is the means for making a measurable differences in the actual evolution of the world we inhabit.  Mind starts working and the compounds created in nature start to change.  Information objects like repeatable sequences and codes to communicate are part of mental evolution.

Sub-conscious mental activity is really well documented.  When a bacteria uses sophisticated communication tools - purposely - that is mental activity.  They make mutual information work - to help them maneuver, detect food and know when to consume.  It is solid science.
