Where's the blueprints?
WERE YOU THERE?
The blueprints are in the genetic code, and when we can't explain the origin of things that have characteristics found in design, then I think we can rationally assume design.
The genetic code assembled itself, beginning with small chain reactions which either stopped or changed in a way that happened to be more adaptive as conditions changed. As you said, there's no such thing as "improved information", there's only what happens to make the plan a better one for existing conditions. Such adaptations help some species and not others in the same location, and condtions differ elsewhere. The blueprints for an existing eye work as well as it does because it's been reworked billions of times through random change until all the non-working plans perished away, never to be reproduced. If your mama was blind, deaf, unintelligent, with boils all over her face and foul-smelling, chances are you wouldn't be here for our scientific observation, and that would be the end of her genetic line. Even one of these, and many, many more bad blueprints handicap one's likelihood of reproducing, which is why your gabble over how well it works is so damned meaningless - of course the eye works, it would be a dead artifact of history if it were useless!
You said it was designed, but you still haven't said how it was done. You insist on an answer which asserts purpose and planning, none of which you can tell us about. Modern engineering blueprints are evidence of the top-down approach of the anthropomorphic "design" which you insist happened, but life clearly did not happen that way according to observable coded plans and their deduced history.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
