AAA you never responded to my suggestion. When we speak of "design" we are talking about things manmade. The reason we don't look for evidence of design in nature is that its the exact opposite of manmade. Naturally occurring vs manmade is the distinction you're mixing up. Why do you wish to throw out that distinction and replace it with "everything is designed".
I assume that is your position, that absolutely every speck of every single thing is designed with a purpose in mind by the cosmic watchmaker? If that is so, I have a couple of follow up questions.
If everything is designed, does that extend to the laws of physics as well? Does anything at all have an intrinsic nature which God didn't give it? In other words, were there any constraints whatsoever in God's designs or would absolutely any result have been divinely possible? If there were no restraints imposed by the nature of the materials themselves, was His creation "skillful"?
