Isn’t this just an aspect of confirmation bias?
Wouldn’t those in favor and opposed to seeing design both share the same shortcoming with respect to biases? It was even said one model was better because it avoided design, if that isn’t built in bias what is?

We currently have an accurate model that doesn't require a designer.

There are countless more examples of things that appear designed (to the eye) and in fact are designed.

requires more, snow flakes have patterns even more complex than those. Bird nest can be
quite elaborate time and energy wouldn't produce those, birds would. I think you have not
yet understood my point.

looking at the good mutations suppressing the bad you get the outcome you want. You
have even gone so far as to announce this is what you have done with your model, you
put in a blind spot on purpose.

even if you understand it. I'm surprised you offered another link after I told you the
pattern you have while discussing this topic. Oh well, this makes me think you behave in
the same manner you think evolution works, which is evolution suppresses bad mutations
in favor of the good ones, you suppress critical views about evolution in favor of the
good ones keeping the theory alive for you. Doesn't allow you to view it in light of the real
world, only just in the light of what makes it seem acceptable to you.
