How Did This Ever Evolve?

The problem, of course, is not with explaining how the phenomenon in the video could have evolved, but rather how it could have evolved as a result of a blind, undirected, purposeless process.

Doubtless the phenomenon could conceivably have been designed by an intelligent engineer, just as intelligent engineers have evolved computers from abacuses and fighter jets from Flyer, the first plane flown by the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk.

But it's hard to imagine how fighter jets could have evolved from Flyer (or, a forteriori, how Flyer itself could have evolved) through sheer serendipity.

Anyway, watch the video. It's pretty amazing.
