To give my take on it for what's it worth.
When we say "designed", do we assume designed for a particular purpose?
We know how nature works ...baby steps over a very long period.
I believe nature "naturally" designs and evolves very efficiently.
I don't think any human can design a cheetah better than nature.
Compare the weight, energy transfer, acceleration, etc of a cheetah and
you'll be hard pressed to make something better.... Ever!
Because nature doesn't have the foresight or the hindsight when evolving, it also needs to fight against previous ineffective systems which it needs to evolve around.
All in all, what we see as "natural" to me is the epitome of design and all done blindly.
I laugh how with the Honda robot, and others, for years they've been trying to mimic the bipedal movement of man and with all the latest technology, where are we up to with that... We use modern concepts like circles, squares, etc, to make things in the modern world which suit us, but these things don't suit nature. Unless it's efficient like eg, an eye needs to be perfectly round in some circumstances
I never, ever underestimate the seemingly blind intelligence of nature.
It got us this far. It's resume as a life designer is a billion years....what's ours.
