I would not conclude that the Darwin fish shows an overt sign of superior intellect. I would propose the following: God, as defined by most major religions, has no limitations on power. If, therefore, God wanted to experiment over time and take 4 billion years to do it, why not? It is only our limited time span on this earth that makes it impossible to imagine that a timeless being might enjoy prolonging the process. We have no frame of reference when it comes to large time spans. Nothing in this idea contradicts the concept of creationism or intelligent design or evolution. Trying to understand the mind of God is an exercise in total futility, like trying to teach a cat calculus.

It is claimed that the Creator created us in His image. What image? Certainly not physical since the entity is incorporeal. Certainly not morally, since mankind is prone to acts that would not pass the test of purity of purpose. Therefore all that is left is intellectual, centered on exploration and discovery. We are, de facto, created in the image of a tinkerer, an experimenter. This would also not contradict what many religions accept as holy scripture.
