By exclusion, what else can produce statistically significant levels of functional complexity? I would use the kidney as an example. They appeared de novo in the Cambrian. Don't quote the 10 million years, they appeared when they appeared and there are no precursors. I have talked dhw out of chance. Besides a 'mind' I can think of no other possibility.
