To me; that's more of a pointing to an intelligent designer behind our existence.
I sometimes consider consciousness itself in that regard: why would a purely mechanical universe have consciousness at all? However, I don't think the specific details of an organism's consciousness show intelligent design. It seems to me an intelligent designer wouldn't need to leave a string of lesser-designed organisms before us. Nor do humans seem to be anything like perfectly designed-- if the goal is perfection, an intelligent designer might have fast-forwarded to a model much superior to humanity.
Intelligent design shows itself in the meanings around everything: to exist the ratios need to be accurately "fine tuned"; the universe must have the proper building blocks to support life.
The void can't give birth to that; a "perfect plan" is my first guess when I see a video game. It is also the same guess when I see a universe. The mechanical aspect of it is working inside a context; life is flourished on earth because earth rotates and lives in a way that support our life, with it the whole solar system is doing a part to ensure that we keep on living. That is where I think the "intelligence of the design" shows itself. Add morality; and you'll just push more and more into the core of the idea.
