Evolution is a wonderful algorithm - open ended, and yet in a single run it created all life, including human culture and technology.

  What I find fascinating about evolution is that it is entirely un-intentional. There is no-one/nothing directing it yet its outcome presents (and can be discussed as) a design.

    How would you know if a higher dimensional being was directing it? We can't easily detect something outside our current physical dimensions. We know that for our math to work there have to be a number of higher dimensions. I think it's more logical to believe this came from something instead of from nothing.

    There is an imperative force internal to evolution - self replication. Information must propagate (replicate) from the past into the future. But this leads to competition for resources, and hence drives evolution.
