Intriguing new perspective.

>Random mutations can't build structures like Aeroplane or a Watch.

Perhaps that's why nature evolved us (randomly or by some not-entirely-random 'mechanism' we haven't spotted - does it matter?) (Consider how many bacteria live in the human body. Could we even exist without them? ) ... WE could be the experiment that builds structures ... and is able to let the whole works look at itself.




This assumes nature has an intent, a plan and is conscious at a higher level. Is that what you are saying?


Nature could just have happened upon us. That seems to be the case, no?

In that sense the plane and the watch are just natural products, just like this website is.


Sure. I was talking from the context of this article though. What you are saying will reword the heading to Nature could be indistinguishable from Nature. Which I accept.
