We are not such a simple thing that we should be the result of a simple random collision. Like your body -everything is cut out according to its innate abilities with perfect measure and order, and put together with the finest art, in the shortest way, the best form, the lightest manner, and most practicable shape. Look at the clothes of birds, for example, and the easy way they ruffle up their feathers and continuously use them. Also, things are given bodies and dressed in forms in a wise manner with no waste and nothing in vain

Check out the giraffe's cardiovascular system. It seems you're alluding to intelligent design and there's a lot of very unintelligent "design" everywhere.

Tell that to the laryngeal nerve which loops around your aortic arch, for no good reason. And to our inferior eye compared to the octopus. Amongst other things.

The complexity of current life could have still formed from incredibly simple means over time.

Yeah nah. Ask any doctor or biologist. Humans and most other organisms are definitely not put together like that. It's pretty cool and it works very well, but many things are just... why? There's lots and lots of hacks, questionable cable management, backwards design, dead code, and leftovers from previous iterations.

Just because we're a pretty successful organism does not mean we are anywhere near the pinnacle of what can be achieved.

I'd like to speak to life's manager. The human body is full of dumb shit. Who designed these shit ass joints!

Perhaps that's true of your body, but my body was manufactured in the Soviet Union, and it shows.

Look also at my ingrown toenail, which for some reason grows about three millimeters wider than the nailbed.

Omnipotence, indeed!
