Dawkins, in "Blind Watchmaker" (1986) goes out of his way to carefully describe many different organisms and organs using terminology associated with things that were designed. From bat echolocation and electric fish to the human eye. After these very detailed descriptions he asserts each one was produced by natural selection - cumulatively ("numerous successive slight modifications").
Dawkins, (who represents all evolutionists) and myself both agree that the inhabitants of nature and physical reality exhibit the appearance of design and organized complexity. I contend that we do not need to special plead the appearance of design, that it logically corresponds with a Designer. Dawkins says the appearance is an illusion produced by a blind and mindless process (natural selection).
However, the point remains: we both agree physical reality appears designed. This is a fact that the Evolution-Creation debate has agreement on: nature and its organisms exhibit the appearance of design.
When Dawkins or any evolutionist says the evolutionary process is blind or mindless or unguided or purposeless these are adjectives that contradict the undisputed results: appearance of design and organized complexity. Based on the undisputed fact that the process produces the appearance of design AND organized complexity AND the interconnecting precision of nature the evolutionist choices to describe the process are false and reflect the bias of Materialism methodology. Objectively, based upon the undisputed results of appearance of design and organized complexity and the interconnecting precision of nature we can disregard the bias and accurately describe the same process as reflecting guidedness, purpose and Mind.
By the way: checkmate.

Who changed the truth of God into A LIE, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
All Darwinists are the liars for special pleading the appearance of design (what more can God do ?) to not correspond with Designer but a blind and mindless process of their own imagination and need.
