If I imposed my rules on a basketball court, would it imply that I designed the court, the ball..or even those rules? No, it wouldn't. This shows that even if there were an -actual- imposition, it would not imply what you think it does...and if your definition for a designed system is a system with rules imposed...then you must accept that I designed either the court, the ball, or the game of basketball, by my act of imposing rules upon the court. You and I both know, ofc, that I didn't design any of those things. This ignores that you haven't actually -shown- any such imposition in the first place, /w regards to the cosmos as a whole or life in specific.
The manner in which we design, and the manner in which evolution works, are entirely dissimilar. Any definition that includes both things we've designed and things naturaly occurring (by a process such as evolution, for example) -as designed-, is absurdly insufficient in that it cannot then distinguish between two very distinguishable things, nor can it distinguish between design and my walking onto a basketball court and saying "We're playing horse, yall".

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
