I don't know that I'd call intention intelligence.
Logically a spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. More the new born babe, than the wise old man.
Though only children are allowed to revel in sentience, while the rest of us have to adopt some purpose.
Desire is what drives us, judgement only steers.
As for the Big Bang theory, it is rather full of holes and cosmologists are not shy about patching them however. Imagine your accountant writing in a figure and calling it, "dark money," whenever they find a gap in the books.
The very first patch was when they realized that as redshift increases proportional to distance in all directions, it makes us appear to be at the center of the universe, so it was changed from an expansion in space, to an expansion of space, because "spacetime."
Which ignores the central premise of Special Relativity, that the speed of light is constant in all frames. If intergalactic light is being redshifted, it isn't constant to intergalactic space. More lightyears, not expanded lightyears.
The assumption seems to be that light exists as some wavy line, that when stretched out, becomes less wavy.
Two metrics of space are being derived from the same light. One based on the speed and one based on the spectrum. Since lightspeed is still being used as the denominator, or it would be a "tired light" theory, the original problem still exists.
We are at the center of our point of view, so an optical effect would be logical.
While single spectrum light will only redshift due to recession, multispectrum light "packets" do redshift over distance, as the higher frequencies dissipate faster, but this would mean we are sampling a wave front, not observing individual photons. That calls to question whether the quantization of light is foundational, or a function of absorption and measurement.
Big Can of Worms is my theory. About people, as much as cosmology.
