> Evolution assembled the most complex system known to exist, starting from a handful of molecules, without any "thought" or "reasoning."
There may have been a lot more complexity early on than that statement assumes. Static systems, after all, pretty much by definition can't evolve (and this is why a reductionistic assessment of evolution as biochemistry doesn't work).
The beauty behind evolution is the same beauty behind Feynman integrals in quantum physics. You take the integral over all possible paths and something is likely to work. Many paths will end or cancel eachother out.

It's like open source software.
