In the case of hand-picking balls that fall out of a basket, an
intelligent agent would work. However, in the case of evolution,
this might also be accomplished by the survival of those organisms
which happen to be carrying the "correct balls". I don't think
one can assign "intelligence" as the proximate cause of such
selection.
