Hi barbara,
I am not sure what you are arguing for or against here ( I seem to have trouble understanding a lot of your arguments).

This is like comparing it to replacing the hard parts of your computer while it is still connected to its power source and is on the entire time you are replacing them. Updating software requires the system to be rebooted before it can be activated to function and this means a moment with no power. Living organisms cannot be disconnected from their main power source otherwise they would die.
IMO this is a flawed analogy. Computers (and other man-made machines) cannot be compared to living organisms when we are talking about design changes. Organisms begin as single cells and changes in morphology are caused by changes in genetic developmental pathways. Machines do not start out as one screw that slowly grows into a complex thing.
The organism does not turn off while the parts are being assembled, it is alive through the whole process.
Changing a organisms morphology in its structure while keeping the organism alive is a big difference compared to human inventions where you can turn off the power source to add new parts or features that improves it.
Yes it is.
Nature's design changes happen during an organism's development and growth and it is alive the whole time, or it is dead and further development stops.
