The absurdity of 'top down' design - that human hands, for example, are designed to do the things they do because some mysterious intelligence(s) wanted humans to do what they do - soon becomes pretty obvious after only a moment's contemplation.
Our hands are marvellously adapted to dealing cards? So that's what the gods want us to do?
And it's merely a coincidence that humans came up with the size and shape of the cards, the number of cards that fit comfortably in a hand, and came up with 'dealing' portions of cards to players in the game?
Did god design hands to accommodate his plan for playing cards, or did humans design cards to be fit the hands we have?
