Or one entire actual brain - if it can be done once by natural selection, it can be done more efficiently again by a designer.

Time exists because the universe doesn't do calculations - the only way to see the outcome is to do the thing. See: The Three Body Problem

Last I heard (I am not a brain scientist) we don't really know what fidelity we would need.
