Yes/no is less interesting than your reasons for your answer. And most importantly, what impact does your answer have?

For me, it's a no. Because there's no hard evidence. And by not believing, I save a lot of time and lose absolutely nothing.

That isn't to say it's impossible. It's to say nobody has show me where it's probable, based on hard evidence.

And to those here posting that animals wouldn't count because they're not intelligent: you're wrong.
