You don’t need to know who the designer is to know something is designed. For example, ATP synthase - if you were to discover a highly efficient motor that performed a necessary functions with precisely arranged parts, and perfect chemomechanical coupling, would you be allowed to infer teleology? What would prevent anyone from making the inference?

The questions are rhetorical – it is the dogmatic adherence to naturalism (no design) in biology that prevents the inference (regardless of the truth).

Nice analogy. I agree completely.

Darwin said he could not imagine creation being by chance.
He believed in an intelligent First Cause much like the mind of humans. ( see his autobiography)
I suggest Evolution proves Intelligent Design.

Can you point me to a few things in the natural world that weren't designed?

For the word design to have any meaning we need to have examples of undesigned things for comparison.

If everything in the universe has a particular quality that quality has no information value.
