A computer isn't going to wonder where the universe came from.

But yeah, I think iintelligence is being able to look at a problem and not just see the answer and the steps it took to get there, but also see WHY it works that way. A chess computer is actually pretty stupid - it still calculates the result of, say, sacrificing your queen to get a pawn all the way to the end of the "game" it's currently calculating, whereas a person would look at it and say "WHY would I do something like that?".
