"Whatever caused animal body plans to arise had to know where it (namely, the cause) was going. And the first step on that road is the hardest to take.
The same can be said about fertilized egg -- it surely 'knows' where it is heading. Constructing trillions of cells, properly specialized and arranged into tissues and organs, all connected in a highly functional way is far beyond any technological projects human have ever undertaken. Even some future 'solar system' scale construction projects humans may undertake some day, would be dwarfed by what is equivalent to galactic scale construction project that fertilized egg carries out as it builds the organism.
Hence, there is already an incomprehensible level of intelligence and foresight in the cell capable of figuring and carrying out much more complex bioengineering tasks than anything human intelligence can begin to conceive. Figuring out and implementing body plan transformations is no harder bioengineering project than what cells already routinely do without breaking a sweat.
Why are Nelson, Meyer and the rest of 'Seattle ID' club completely blind to this perfectly evident vast intelligence of the right kind and in the right place? The intelligence is clearly emanating and acting from small to large, unfolding from inside out. That is in fact no different than how intelligence emanates and builds up in human technologies, from individual human brains.
Similarly, looking at the astonishing degree of fine tuning of physical laws and constants for life, it is evident that what we consider some dumb particles aimlessly bouncing around is not so either. The whole operation of the universe from the smallest to the largest scale appears to be a project of construction of ever larger computing technologies, each one computing and building the next one at the larger scale."
