What is design? Can we not find evidence of design on earth or in the universe?

Hi All,
First, I ask for pardon if this topic has been discussed here. Show me the link and I'll suggest that this post be discontinued.What is design? Do you agree or disagree with this definition: "To design is to create or execute something--abstract or concrete--in a highly skilled manner with a purpose or goal in mind".key words: higly skilled (meaning intelligence), purpose or goal.For example, the position of the earth vis a vis the sun. Our planet is so well placed vis a vis the sun. A few feet away from the sun (compared to where we are now) , and we all freeze to death. A few feet near the sun and we all burn.proof of high skill: exact placement--where we are now
purpose or goal:the purpose of the earth's exact location is for life to thrive.What do you think?

Thread moved here from the Coffee House forum.

I'm have to marshal my time carefully this weekend. I moved this from Coffee House to here instead of to the ID forum because I wasn't sure whether there's already an appropriate thread for this topic. If someone else has time could you check it out and take appropriate action? Thanks.
