The "trick" is that intelligence is ambient in living tissue (it's concentrated in ganglion and brain but all cellular tissue thinks.) In other words, there is an intelligent designer because it evolved from life (not the other way 'round.) See the work of Michael Levin and co, and what Wolfram has discovered about how common computation is in natural systems, and it becomes pretty obvious that there's no intrinsic "that's too clever" limit to what evolution can do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Levin_(biologist) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Levin_(biologist) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_New_Kind_of_Science#Principle_of_computational_equivalence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_New_Kind_of_Science#Principl... Wolfram's something of an megalomaniac, but he's not wrong about the "principle of computational equivalence": > Based on his experimental results, Wolfram developed the principle of computational equivalence (PCE): the principle states that systems found in the natural world can perform computations up to a maximal ("universal") level of computational power.
