"We can tell the difference between a peanut and an acorn because they each manifest a different design."

Is your quotation from a science text? If so, it's incredibly sloppy writing. Sounds like something a creationist would slip in whild no one was watching.

I suppose it could be from one of these threads. If so, I'd chalk it up to haste in the heat of battle. The statement can't be evaluated as a scientific statement.

Heck no. But I am flattered that you at first thought this might be the case. I just made it up on the spot.

I wasn't asking you to evaluate it as a scientific statement. I was asking you to propose a definition of "design" as you see it used in this context. If my haphazard sentence is beneath your intelligence, then please feel free to design your own sentence using the word and THEN tell me what you think it means.
