In genetics it’s very common to say that things are designed a certain way without invoking a creator.
Yep, the designer is evolutionary pressures, not necessarily an inteligence. It's shorthand, not religious invokation.
I didn't know this was common usage, thanks! I stand corrected
No worries, you're more right now than you were before. :)
