Bob O'H already made this point, but at some length.
For concision: None of that is evidence in the scientific sense. It's a restatement of the question in explicitly teleological terms. To consider this evidence (the result of empirical investigation beyond a cursory glance) is to beg the question. |
Not only that, but most of it is false.
If our superhighway systems were anything like the cell's, trucks crashing into each other (combining their cargos), useless detours, and multiple tractors on the same cargo trailer pulling in different directions would play an integral role in every journey.
If human-designed waste management systems were designed analogously to the cell's, we'd have 20% raw sewage in our drinking water and call it delicious.
The amazing thing is that when you work in these fields, you see massive teleological biases among the scientists, so that extra data are required to overcome these analogies.
