A lot goes into tying a knot behind one's back.
A few weeks back my wife was modeling a new outfit she had bought. As she slipped on its vest, I realized it had belt-like strips that had to be tied behind. I expected her to turn to me and ask me to tie them for her, but instead, she reached back and, without being able to see what she was doing, knotted the strings herself.
That incident, seemingly so insignificant, struck me forcibly. What incredible abilities we have! Think of all the bones and muscles, nerves and mental imagery that have to coordinate together flawlessly to make possible the feat of tying a shoestring knot behind your back.
Am I supposed to believe this came about by chance? It took enormous ingenuity to devise a system to tie baling string in a combine. Can I believe that the ability of my wife to tie a bow behind her back was any less the product of a master designer?
