A comment on U.S. surgeons transplant pig heart into human patient. Parent comment
It’s came from the use of the word “design”, which is a loaded term in the context of evolution.
I take it to imply either a designer or a direction to evolution. Two things I personally don’t consider to be true.
I hope that doesn’t sound pedantic for the sake of it, that’s not my intention and I don’t intend any offence by it.
Without actually knowing you though I only have your choice of words to go on as to what you really mean.
In your gasoline example I would personally just swap the word “designed” for “evolved” unless designed is what you actually mean.
