Please formalize the argument seen in the following passage:

Look around the world: Contemplate the whole and every part of it: You will find it to be nothing but one great machine, subdivided into an infinite number of lesser machines, which again admit of subdivisions to a degree beyond what human senses and faculties can trace and explain.The curious adapting of means to ends, throughout all nature, resembles exactly, though it much exceeds, the productions of human contrivance; of human design, thought, wisdom, and intelligence. Since therefore the effects resemble each other, we are led to infer, by all the rules of analogy, that the causes also resemble, and that the Author of Nature is somewhat similar to the mind of man, though possessed of much larger faculties, proportioned to the grandeur of the work which he has executed. By this argument a posteriori, and by this argument alone, do we prove at once the existence of a Deity and his similarity to human mind and intelligence.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

By this argument a posteriori, and by this argument alone, we can prove at once the existence of a Deity and his similarity to the human mind and intelligence, however, we have to admit that in this whole creation there is always the presence of some divinity that has created perfection in humans and all life sentences on planet earth. whose methods and forms are still unexplainable by science.

Let's take the human body functions, as an example. Not every function is controlled by the brain. You cannot have the power to stop and restart the blood circulation in your veins. Among many other examples.

Science and medicine cannot explain spontaneous remission. Even science and medicine still consider this as miracles.

Scientists and Doctors have studied the human body inside out. They know the body very well and do not have an answer about the place of consciousness in the body. Is it located in the brain? Is it located in the heart? Is it part of the soul? If its non-physical, then where is located and how it affects every single aspect of human behavior, consciously or unconsciously?
