The reasoning here is questionable at every stage, as previous respondents have shown. I just want to add my bit.
An organising principle does not imply mind. If you shake up marbles in a box, they become ordered. Crystals forming in a solution show order. In both cases the ordering principle is the way the universe works, and has nothing to do with mind.
So, to follow your style of reasoning, ordering principles are subordinate to physical law. Which makes your argument circular!
Mike.
