It is exactly the conclusion. It says there are some arcane phenomenon which are not clearly explained by classic TToE. Nowhere does it ascribe a supernatural force at work.
Rather, it plays word games with “design.” Note it never references “designer.”
If it natural, it fits. If it is a more precise definition of natural phenomena of change, explains TToE characteristics, is testable has predictable parameters and meets all the other criteria for a Scientific Theory, great. It might be a natural biology version of Einsteinian physics supplanting Newtonian. Cool.
Helps not the creationist argument a whit.
And it is not even close to the H0 stage but it might be promising.
Basically all your argument boils down to is that nothing whatsoever could falsify ToE, which of course, is essentially an admission that ToE is not a scientific theory at all.
