>Furthermore, because the universe is natural, its self-selection amounts to a cosmic form of natural selection. But by the nature of this selection process, it also bears description as intelligent self-design (the universe is “intelligent” because this is precisely what it must be in order to solve the problem of self-selection, the master-problem in terms of which all lesser problems are necessarily formulated). This is unsurprising, for intelligence itself is a natural phenomenon that could never have emerged in humans and animals were it not already a latent property of the medium of emergence.

What did he mean by this?

PD: The Universe. You’ve got to be impressed by the Universe when you see order in the Universe. This wasn’t an accident, Miss Rand.

AR: Oh, now you’ve got to give me a few minutes. {Audience applause} What do you think would happen in a disorderly Universe?

PD: In a disorderly Universe?

AR: What’s the concept of order? What does it have to do with things which exist? If they clash with each other, if there were contradictions, they wouldn’t exist. There is no such thing as a disorderly Universe. Our whole concept of order comes from observing reality. And, the reality has to be orderly because it’s the standard of what exists.

PD: Right. So…

AR: So, the contradictions cannot exist.

PD: Okay. So, we have an orderly Universe because it’s impossible to have a disorderly Universe.

AR: That’s right.

PD: I got that. I understood that.

AR: Fine.

PD: Do you understand what a breakthrough that is that I understood that?

I disagree with this premise.
It's entirely possible for a disorderly universe to exist, it just cannot exist as a stable phenomenon.
