Not exactly, or at least not in the same sense. Selection does not attempt to falsify or deny what came before. What I am getting at is there is an aspect of the future that is unknowable. When humans design something, they are projecting something into the future, asserting that this object will behave thusly. This seems pretty successful when implemented in glass and steel, but we do not have the resources to predict the viability of a living system, particularly in competition with other systems, and particularly in the whole unpredictable ecosystem.
Life works around this dilemma by introducing "random" variation. The success of any given variation is determined by the future, by selection, not by design.
