God created everything with the ability to adapt to environment.  Everything He made is intelligently designed.  Each "kind" is programmed to "evolve" within the original "blueprints."  Hence things like the proliferation of canines since Noah's time.  So, my answer would have to be...all 3.   :-)
There is no such thing as a "kind."  God may have started the whole process (and I believe he did), but he did it with astounding care by instantiating rules by which the Universe operates.

I am not quite sure what you mean about canines, but canis domesticus (and felinus domesticus) are certainly great examples of TToE before our eyes.

And, of course, there is zero scientific evidence for a worldwide flood.

We currently assign every creature to a "kind," though we use different terminology.   ::) 

Yes, canines have evolved pretty dramatically since the originals stepped off the Ark.  Of course, they have also evolved under God's rules, since all canines can still breed with any other canine of the proper sex. 

As most of the fossils studied today were created during the flood, there is certainly much more that zero scientific evidence.  Eventually, we may learn enough to correctly interpret the evidence.

Inuits and and Kenyans look drastically differant.  Both are two differant races that adapted (evolved) to their environments, and can still produce viable offspring.  Some of todays breeds of dogs are jsut that as well, most though where selectively breed (not evolved) to the characteristics that they currently have. 

And how where all of those fossils that we study today displaced at hundreds of differant levels of geological strata, from a single flood?

Have you read Genesis?  It descibes something far more "earth-shaking" than a normal flood.  The tsunami a couple years ago actually shook the whole earth.  The flood was far more water, far more power, far more destruction.  The first land appeared after nearly a year...and that was the top of a mountain.  When Noah got back to a place he recognized, 2 of the 4 major rivers were gone.  Given that kind of pressure, destruction, and time with water upon the earth, naturally the earth would settle in strata full of fossils.  Everyone acknowledges that it takes very special circumstances to create fossils...in the normal turn of events, dead creatures rot and disappear, they don't become fossils.  The flood is the best explanation for the majority of the fossils created.

Do you believe that the universe was intelligently designed with humanity in mind or do you believe that it was designed for some other purpose/purposes?

If by "creationsm" you mean the world is 6,000 years old or something, then no.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
