im not sure i agree. I read a thing about how mathematically the roadways in our cities work almost identically to the circulatory system in animals just on a more 2d plane. Thats pretty incredible all on its own!

A significant difference, as beautifully outlined by Francis Crick, is that "living organisms have not been designed but they have been evolved"...

This is flimsy distinction, that will feel increasingly prehistoric as technology advances. Even today, all technology is the outcome of an evolution process, and in the future most artifacts will be created via search/optimization without much human involvement.

Definitely true in terms of efficiency. Even more impressive when considering how many different organisms can coexist in what is basically an almost fully closed recycling circle.
