A flaw in the argument is that the argument
conflates being necessary for the development of a phenomenon with guaranteeing the development of that phenomenon
takes for granted that every phenomenon has a unique cause
infers that the development of one phenomenon caused the development of another merely because the two phenomena developed around the same time
draws a conclusion that merely restates a claim presented in support of that conclusion
assumes that if something serves a purpose it must have developed in order to serve that purpose
