Well if it were directed, then there are only a few options I can think of. Either something else in this universe did it, or something outside the universe did. But if it were designed, then whatever designed it had unimaginable intelligence considering how intricate and interactive these systems are. I think that the best answer is a being outside the universe, but that isn't even what is want people to conclude. I just am tired of people acting as though the mechanism proposed by Darwin is adequate to explain this:[Image: hugely-detailed-metabolic-pathways-e1433384359639.png]
These are biochemical pathways. Each red/blue/green word is the name of a protein/enzyme that catalyzes a specific step. The lines show how the products of one reaction become the substrates of another. Notice how they are all interrelated. It is definitely premature to say mutation is an adequate cause, especially when you wouldn't even have anything to mutate without a significant amount of these biochemical pathways already in place.
