Design, in the Creation sense, to me, refers to being similar to how humans do it. Man was made in God's image so they will instinctively follow the same principles as God. If we see how humans do it, then we can infer God's way was similar.
For example, when humans build a bridge, they do not just show up to a location, with piles of materials and the bridge forms by throwing materials here and there; random model of creation like used in science. The process is more like, first the architects and design engineers plan on paper. They draw out the design, spec the materials, calculate the sizes and quantity needed, even before they prep the site. When it is show time, the process is done in a very logical and orderly manner. Image of God means God plans before he executes.
This planning is not the current model of evolution. In that model of Evolution is more like you just show up, and start throwing things around. This is modeled with casino math and science; black box hocus hocus. In a man and god parallel, the process should be more is like using Bechtel (USA) Construction Company, to run a large project, cradle to grave. In the case of universe, we will use Bechtel's 50,000 employees, so the project can be fully rational, with no surprises, on time, on budget, cradle to grave. There is no room for throwing dice and playing cards; zero fatal flaws. In the case of Creation, God Inc, has even more resources. He starts by brooding, which is sitting quietly; like a chicken on an egg, planning and making blue prints, until the egg hatches. When that stage is done, the mother chicken is busy, bringing in the on-site resources to implement and break ground; boom! Architects brood on their designs before breaking the ground.
Einstein said, "I do not believe that God chose to play dice with the universe." This meant he sensed that the universe did not form without a systematic plan. If we assume a random universe, the laws of physics should not be rational. How can random processes, lead to logical rules? Einstein's various equations are clean, and have no fuzzy dice; rational equations. How can you make that appear with fuzzy dice? A fuzzy dice approach needs too much time and will never allow rational law, like the one's we use; entropy has to increase.
Chemical Planning and God Inc.
The way I like to look at the universe, is to reverse engineer the chemistry stage of the universe, since chemistry is the material of our senses and chemistry been around since about 380,000 years after the Big Bang; first hydrogen. The Universe is 13.7 billion years old and chemistry is more than 13.699 billion years old. I will focus there to show the planning involved since this is easier to see.
We; life and humans, and the earth are composed of atoms and molecules. The universe started with hydrogen and some helium; protons, neutrons and electrons in a variety of small size combinations. This is all we will need form all the atoms. Hydrogen was designed to be very versatile, since it can be use for fusion to make higher atoms. Hydrogen is also critical to life. Life uses reduced materials for food and structures. While hydrogen bonding, holds the molecular configurations of life together. Hydrogen is also part of an intelligent design; the first stable chemical material, that will be used throughout all the stages of macro-creation; galaxies, stars and all the way to life and consciousness. It is not a random design, but a very well planned designed. Random would be more of a one shot hydrogen deal.
In the modern universe, the most common atoms are H; hydrogen, He; helium, O; oxygen and C; carbon. While the three most common molecules are H2; hydrogen gas, H20; water, and CO; carbon monoxide. These are the most common atoms in life, with water molecules accounting for 100 times as many molecules, as all the rest of the organic molecules in cells, combined. This is well planned for the bigger picture way down the road.
Water is the most common solid substance in the universe; ice. The hydrogen molecule is more common, but hydrogen is a gas down to -423.2F or -252.9C, so there is less solid hydrogen in the universe. It is mostly gas. Water freezes at 32F and 0C, which is very high for such a small molecule. This is due to the abundance of oxygen and hydrogen atoms paired, and hydrogen bonding.
Water is the most studied and most anomalous substance in science. It is also the odd ball of nature with 70 anomalies. Water is God's Swiss Army knife. Water is the standard for chemistry; acid and bases, oxidation and reduction, etc. In terms of star formation, the anomalously high melting point of water, that makes water the most common solid in the universe, allows gravity to attract water; ice, easier than hydrogen gas. This allows water to become the easy core of forming stars, to help build up the gravity, until even hydrogen gets pulled it; seeds of stars. Second generation stars can also use higher atoms. But water has a unique trick up its sleeve.
Water and star formation, uses another anomaly of water, which is water expands when it freezes and contracts when it melts. This is about a 10% change in volume. This is why ice floats on liquid water; 10% of the iceberg is above water. The value of this well planned anomaly, is as the ice ball gains mass and increases its gravity and pressure, the core pressures cause the water to heat, which then melt the core ice. This causes a collapse cascade, that I like to call a fusion hammer effect.
Picture a huge snowball of ice, suddenly shrinking 10%, starting in the center of gravity, causing the entire ball to implode/collapse; core outward; 10%. As the collapse propagates, the work and heat of the core boils the confined water, pressurizing the water into exotic water phases, until metallic water appears at about 5grams/cc. This adds to the collapse cascade, which lights the fusion hammer fire.
