Is the golden ratio evidence of a grand design a massive freak coincidence or something else?

The golden ratio is the solution to x-1 = 1/x.
That is, it's the number whose inverse is the same as itself minus one.
I wouldn't call it a coincidence that there is a solution. It's just ... true?
Like other simple mathematical constants, it pops up in geometry, trigonometry, number sequences, fractals, etc. I'm not sure if these count as coincidences to you or not.
It shows up in nature, too, although not always precisely, and not exclusively. There's lots of math in nature. There's math in everything!
It's also used in art and architecture.
I guess I wouldn't call it more of a massive freak coincidence than any other mathematical truth. Or is there some other reason to?

Can the golden ratio be present within your own brain and body at the atomic or subatomic level what do you think it mean. Is this number evidence of a design a massive freak coincidence or something?
The "golden ratio" is simply a number with certain properties. Claims that this number appears all over the place are, to a great extent, exaggerated - no "freak coincidence".

What was William paleys design argument?
William Paley's design argument, also known as the watchmaker analogy, posits that the complexity and purposeful design observed in the natural world imply the existence of an intelligent designer (God). Paley compared the universe to a watch, asserting that just as a watch's intricate design suggests a watchmaker, the intricacies of nature suggest a divine creator.
