BB: But for highly complex systems such as the human body, it is difficult to conceive of the global organization required to coordinate all the various parts and systems -- that must all work dynamically and synergistically together, virtually instantaneously in real time, in order to maintain the system in a living state ...

Time to step back and think about what is being said here. The brain has very little to do with the coordination of bodily functions needed to stay alive. Breathing and heartbeat don't need a lot of intelligent coordination to maintain life.

Good point. The brainstem is needed for breathing, but the heart works on its own feedback loop, with only loose control from the brain.
