Like, how does nature know to manipulate quantum states and electromagnetism to achieve this result. Trial and error / random mutation /survival etc just doesn't explain why it happens.

That's a staggering amount of non trivial science/math stacked layer by layer. On a beetle.

For those giving me replies:

I'm asking more of a philosophical question.

Why are these things there in the first place.

I'm not asking his evolution works. I know how evolution works. I state that in my comment. Random mutations, survival, etc. Etc etc. Is how.

Why.

To say it is because it is isn't answering my question.

How and why does/could a random mutation play on the laws of physics in a meticulously optimized way to benefit itself. What is the method that would cause something to randomly say, today I think I'm going to make cells that act in such a way as to make me appear reflective, or transparent, or mimic the environment.

The result is because of evolution. OK. Good.

How do these processes which use quantum mechanics and wild optical physics become an innate part of nature to begin with.
