I wasn't trying to address any bearing this has on finding alien life, just speaking theoretically - we shouldn't assume that everything should be like us. If it hasn't been your experience that most people think that way, then I must have misjudged. I agree on the second paragraph, but especially the last sentence. I know "design" is used by IDers, but what other word can adequately reference the incredibly complicated way our cells and bodies work? Thanks for the response.

Use "structure", not "design". As in: "The human body's structure is...", not "The human body's design is...". There is no need to use the word "design" to refer to the complexity of the human body. "Design" implies a creator; "structure" simply describes those aspects of the human body (or life in general) that makes it "work" and does not imply a creator.

  So when Google uses A/B testing to improve their design, we should call it "web structure", not "web design"? Human minds and evolution are both algorithms.
