One of our successful evolutionary traits is to observe and note patterns. This helps us in all kinds of ways. Finding food, avoiding injuries. But we over-rotate when we infer an intrelligent agency from a pattern. A great example of this are the 40,000 interlocking geometrically shaped basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway. The columns looked so geometrically perfect it was umed to have been a staircase carved by giants, when in fact the formations have since been proven completely natural in origin.
