I think the objective standard for any design would be the continued success and viability of it's product.

Do the
5 major extinction events Earth has experienced argue against design? Should they be viewed as flaws in the system or designed self-regulation events?
The reason some of us argue against the concept of design is that the ID crowd has an agenda of subverting science education by introducing religious belief disguised as scientific inquiry into the schools. If your interpretation of the design concept doesn't include a supernatural component, fine. But then you aren't referring to the same design fallacy as proposed by the
Wedge document, the Discovery Institute's plan of action.
If there's evidence of design that can be scientifically examined, it should be brought forth and offered for peer review. Thus far that evidence is non-existent.
