I would argue that it is necessary to separate the evolution of a design concept from its produced design.
Design concepts can be said to evolve, whereas as the produced design is designed outright.
In this sense each produced design is a "hard copy" of a design concept made at a particular point in its evolution.

Read Genesis 1. He did it all in 6 days. There is a very specific sequence of events. Trust me, I don't know how God did it.
So tell us then, how did God do it?

As I said in an earlier message:

Ideas can be said to evolve, produced designs can be regarded as "hard copies" made along the way.
