I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come off as offended! I just feel like this is a misconception that it's important not to perpetuate, not for religious or political reasons but because it has important implications in how we view the world.

Something that is designed is the fruit of the labor of creative minds, while by comparison evolution is a relatively "dumb" process. Design involves some measure of intent, a sense that something is manufactured up to some specification. I hope not to turn this into a debate about semantics, because that would frankly be derailing a very interesting thread.
