Because, you know, the word denotes something that doesn't make sense... like a donut shaped brain. You're clearly working on some form of idiot's dictionary.Take for example symmetry in most humans and animals
While the human body is not symmetrical from inside, it is very symmetrical from outside
It is more of beauty than function
If evolution is not intelligent asymmetrical shapes will be much more than symmetrical ones
and if it is a cause of some genetic function then bodies will be symmetrical from inside as well.
Ahem. I give you one of the most common lifeforms on the planet:
Not a lot of symmetry there. Clue - symmetry is not a terrific indication as to whether or not a fuzzy sky daddy exists.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
