Natural selection takes hundreds of generations to do anything and millions of years for de novo complex designs. Human programmers can design a complex machine with a hundred interdependent elements in a single afternoon. This is not surprising, since natural selection is an accidental optimization process that basically just started happening one day, whereas humans are optimized optimizers handcrafted by natural selection over millions of years.

This is not surprising. Natural selection is an accidental optimization process, that basically just started happening one day in a tidal pool somewhere. A cat is the subject of millions of years and billions of years of evolution.
And what more is this than speculation? If you disagree, what is the basis of your disagreement? Test and be tested.
This is what natural selection entails in principle, and natural selection has been tested and vindicated experimentally, and the speed at which it works, and these are basic conclusions to draw from those tests. The amount of time it has taken for the cat to evolve through natural selection is also been experimentally vindicated.
if you can’t even conceive this level of deduction, you can’t discuss anything.
