For whereas man-made machines may have a great number of components, such machines are specifically designed to limit the number of interactions. The components only interact with a small number of other components and a matrix describing these interactions would be very sparse. Not so for many biological systems.


Wonder if he thought about this as he wrote. Biological systems' features are contrary to design, therefore they are designed.

Well, the idea that biology is designed is just assumed.  What he's actually aiming at is this:

"Humans can only design things with limited interactions. Therefore, designed objects with this many interactions must have been created by something far, far greater than some mere human."
