How does Dawkins know natural selection is the only explanation for the phenomena he described?

Because they look designed. The stuff that results from things like genetic drift doesn't look designed.

Re: Design Flaws

I can't make any connection between the things that you are complaining about biologists doing, and the things that biologists are actually doing.
