No, it isn't. First, you're filling gaps again. Secondly, design is a result of natural observation. Design, as in humans designing stuff, didn't drop from the blue heavens. It's a process of observation, which led our ancestors to designing tools and other things. So nature is the model, human design is the result. You can't look at the work of humans and come to the conclusion that nature has been designed too.
Nature simply adapts to what's working best in certain environments.
Filling in the gaps of what? And if an asteroid hit tomorrow with a circuit board attached to it, would we have to say that we are just filling in the gaps by saying it was designed? Do we just have to wait for somebody to try to explain how it formed without intelligence? Designer is only filling a gap if we assume that it can never be the correct answer.
