I haven't read the whole work. It is obvious you spent a lot of time writing down the emotional, cognitive and biological experience, your experience of a life time. I didn't read it all because I never thought like that. So a few replies to your thoughts.

No scientific theory is rock solid. Why? Humans created it. And human points of view change, so our view of reality changes. No one view is absolute. My skepticism is so deep that I remain skeptical of everything. That doesn't mean I don't use science ( I worked in Surveying and with GPS when GPS was the bleeding edge not the highly evolved positioning and timing system in your phone). But all the folks I met that were developing this technology only took it as an approximation, not absolute. That is my take too.

Honestly I never understood why intelligence wasn't integral to all that exists called the multiverse. Why man felt the need to stand outside and certainly this is what religion did. Religion kept God outside of creation. And man a little lower than the angels also outside creation. Why? I have no idea.
But I never ever embraced the idea. I have always sense in a very visceral way that intelligence is another aspect of reality. Color it "intelligent design" or "evolution" or any other myth you wish. I see it all like a clouds in the sky or waves at the beach or the wind in my hair and many other innumerable ways that express the inexpressible phenomena of being.
Intelligence or consciousness IS reality as I understand it. We see some of that expressed as material reality, some we think of as emotion, some as thought. That the western mind wishes to apportion these forms into separate categories creates so many problems; the 'hard question' of consciousness, and the debate between two nonsensical ideas of evolution vs intelligent design another.
