Mountains are not designed. They are gradual formations arising through natural processes.
Similarly, planets are not designed.
Animals are not designed. They gradually come to be through evolution and natural selection.
Some things clearly aren't designed. So not everything is designed.
Unless you want to reject science. Or adopt an unconventional definition of design.
Irrespective of the definition you want to use for design, one can't use the example of clocks and such to then infer that everything else must've been designed because the way things like mountains and rocks and plants and such come to be is radically different from how clocks and cars come to be.
As for fine-tuning of the universe, we only have one observable universe we can work with, so the sample size isn't sufficient enough for us to determine if a universe with even slightly different constants would've stopped being fine-tuned for eventual human life on one small particular planet.
Even then, this presumes only this one universe exists. When taking a whole multiverse into consideration, the fine-tuning argument becomes even less compelling.
