According to the definition of intelligence applying knowledge is something only an intelligent being can do. I will list an example of me applying knowledge then list a example of god applying knowledge.
My example
I have knowledge that plants die during the winter time. So i apply this knowledge and bring in my plants indoors so they do not die in the cold.
Gods example.
God has knowledge that dogs would be hot during the summer. So he applied this knowledge and designed the dogs to shed it's fur during the summer
Your "Gods example" is absolutely presumptuous: it denies the obvious that lifeforms adapt to their immediate environments such that any/all changes to their physiology are derivative therefrom. It is because such lifeforms need a coat during the cold while not needing it in heat they have evolved to grow/shed accordingly (to the environment). It can be said that life-in-and-of-itself is intelligent, but certainly not that:
i. there is therefor a God, and
ii. God therefor applied so-called knowledge to produce what we see
It can be explained without the assumption of any god.
Knowledge first begins with self: 'know thy self'.
If you take the universe and call it 'that I am'
and take any being 'I am' and place them in/of 'that I am'
how could 'I am' ever infer an unknown 'that I am' if 'I am'
is unknown unto/by itself?
This is why "belief" in matters pertaining to god are entirely ignorant less a knowledge of ones own self whence to infer such god. One can not infer an unknown by way of another unknown - it is impossible, and it takes a "believer" to "believe" otherwise.
