"Hayek showed how in a free market the complex processes of producing and distributing goods and services to millions of individuals do not require socialist planners."

But it doesn't happen without someone doing something. Same with creation.

You are confusing the process with the agent. The whole point of the comment is that the number of agents, as the number increases, impart cumulatively less and less individual influence on the process. It eventually gets to the point where the agent is irrelevant to the process aside from being just one of the undirected parts of the whole.

Our puzzlement has nothing to do with the merits of the intelligent design argument. There are none."
