If design were apparent then we wouldnt be having this conversation. "I personally feel" I am quoting these words to stress why your chain of thought is flawed.
I feel was in the context of what I believe. And I know your semantic argument on believe and faith so whatever.

This is a logical deduction I haveade based on the evidence of the natural world around me.

Design is appera by and immutable to the natural world they even have a scientific field called: biomimetics.

You give arguments against design based upon biological evolutionary terms , natural selection, trial and error.
But those do not apply to cosmological entities. There are no stars or nebulae that had to struggle through trial and error, natural selection to reach their present form. Yet the complexity and design is apparent.

A speck of dust has approximately 3t atoms, depending on its mass. Just think about how complex atoms are.

If molecules — the main structures that are involved in chemistry — are the words from which all of the materials around us are built, then atoms are the letters, the building blocks for molecules. Just as there are words of all lengths, a typical molecule may contain a few or a hundred or even a hundred thousand atoms. A molecule of table salt (NaCl) contains two atoms, one of sodium (Na) and one of chlorine (Cl); a molecule of water (H2O) has two of hydrogen and one of oxygen; a molecule of table sugar (C12H22O11) is made from twelve atoms of carbon, eleven of oxygen and twenty-two of hydrogen in a very particular arrangement.

Very particular arrangement.

That is a non biological molecule that cannot be naturally selected by trial and error or natural pressure.

Not only do I see design in nature based on evidence, but it is highly ordered also.
