Anything which a exhibits some level(s) of functionality(ies), intricacy / complexity & structural integrity both on the physically observable level(s) & sub-system level(s) are all products of design since we can observe that such objects are near impossible to arise through chance.
"Come about through"... "Arrise through"... It doesn't matter, the Theory of Evolution doesn't say it happened by chance. Natural Selection is the non-random component necessary to yield these complexities.
"The Theory of Evolution does not say that any species came about through chance"....Nor does it attempt to describe how the mechanism used to create these new species arose (e.g dna utilization).
It simply states that these mechanisms are there, so things evolve, or things evolve because these mechanisms are there.
There's been a lot of scientific advancement in the realm of "dna utilization", but that stuff is outside the scope of the Theory of Evolution. Still, using an evolutionary paradigm doesn't mean there's not an attempt to describe how dna utilization arrose. Why don't you start a new thread on that topic? I'm sure a lot of people will show you.
To be more precise: Things evolve because of natural selection, natural selection is there so things evolve...Everything else in the theory is due to chance. This is a tautology
No, that's not even close.
The evolution theory never attempts to describe how the mechanisms that natural selection utilizes arose, it simply ignores that factor.
And cooking thoery doesn't describe farming...
Wait, Why don't you complain about the design theory not describing how life was designed?
From this perspective natural selection is simply a product created by chance that happens by chance.
You're grossly misunderstanding what Natural Selection is. Do you even care to learn about it?
No we don't, but we have observations / evidence which suggests that living things are possibly a product of design.
I suppose, but the design explanation is so inferior to the evolutionary explanation that its not even on the radar. Evolution actually has explanatory power. Design does not.
There's tons of observations in species that would make you think the designer would have had to have been crazy to design it that way, but from an evolutionary perspective, it makes perfect sense.
Evolution wins.
water -> plants -> insects & animals
If you remove anyone of these from the planets entire ecological system, the system will fall apart.
The Earth could exist with just water and no plants or animals.
