Evolution special pleads design to not indicate Designer based on mandatory philosophical requirements that do not allow God as an explanation or interpretation or, of course, a conclusion.
(Biological) Evolution is a phenomenon. It does not speak, and it does not "plead", it just happens.
Perhaps you mean "evolutionists". Evolutionists do not claim that design does not indicate a designer. They frequently claim that any superficial appearance of design in nature does not indicate a designer, because natural selection can produce that effect.
Perhaps you mean the Theory of Evolution. The T of E does not include a biological designer at present because it is evidence based, and there is no evidence for such a designer. There is nothing in the theory of evolution that states that we are or are not in a created universe. It's compatible with either philosophical view.
It's important to remember that "design" and "appearance of design" are not the same things.
Of course design indicates designers.
