Sounds like you need an Intelligent Chooser” and selector and picker and sorter to pick out each block (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...) in the right order though.

Remember, evolution works. By trillions to the trillionth power of get-each-random-mutation-in-the-right-order-AND-get-each-random mutation-be-the-right “random” event.

An “eye” has no survival benefits (and will burden its possessor!) UNTIL the optic nerve, the lens fluid, the brain, the brain connections and processes, the muscles, the lens muscles, the coordination between optic nerve-brain-muscle all “work”.

I did the math a while ago and came to the conclusion that mathematically the odds against life spontaneously starting on earth is zero. The odds against simple life evolving into more complex life is even higher.

But it's interesting how science tries to get around this cold hard fact. For example this article, a blog from nova, wonders why the universe seems specificially and uniquely fine tuned to support life. For example:

Take, for instance, the neutron. It is 1.00137841870 times heavier than the proton, which is what allows it to decay into a proton, electron and neutrino—a process that determined the relative abundances of hydrogen and helium after the big bang and gave us a universe dominated by hydrogen. If the neutron-to-proton mass ratio were even slightly different, we would be living in a very different universe: one, perhaps, with far too much helium, in which stars would have burned out too quickly for life to evolve, or one in which protons decayed into neutrons rather than the other way around, leaving the universe without atoms. So, in fact, we wouldn’t be living here at all—we wouldn’t exist.

Now the conclusion of many is this:

That night in Hawaii, Faber declared that there were only two possible explanations for fine-tuning. “One is that there is a God and that God made it that way,” she said. But for Faber, an atheist, divine intervention is not the answer.
“The only other approach that makes any sense is to argue that there really is an infinite, or a very big, ensemble of universes out there and we are in one,” she said.

In other words rather than believe the UNIVERSE was designed and created some scientists would rather make up an entire theory about a multiverse. If there's an infinite amount of universes then, hey, one of them must have formed exactly right to be able to support life. We got lucky.

I would much rather spend my time trying to discover the creator of the universe than poring over the creation looking for ways to ignore the obvious.
