Dawkins asserts that there is no designer, thus no design. Design means
(Webster) 1. to plan; make preliminary sketches of; sketch a pattern or
outline for. 2. to form (plans, etc.) in the mind; contrive. 3. to plan to
do; purpose; intend. 4. To intend or set apart for some purpose. I think
your antievolutionist friends are right.
