Perhaps geology can provide some useful data here. Complex molecules such
as clay minerals can be produced by ordinary chemical reactions in the
environment, yet they have a large number of components (atoms) arranged
into a specific configuration, giving them properties that are not present
if the components are reaaranged or partially removed. They thus have
specified complexity, yet any design must be attributed to fine tuning in
the laws of chemistry and physics rather than to intervention-style direct
action.
