It will uniquely explain cases of biological structure changes that are not survivable by step-by-step mutation and selection. You confuse your lack of any support that evolution itself is not designed, with the idea that design does not explain anything. It does, and it explains very specific complex biological attributes in the most plausible and parsimonious manner.

The fact that you cannot explain biology without design is a simple, direct fact. Even apart from that, you can provide no evidence that evolution itself was not designed. Those are standard debate points, but I find it a bit disturbing that you question that "any natural system is designed", when it overtly, obviously is the case natural systems are designed, because -we did it- and you can be aware of this with the most vague familiarity with the news in the domain of genetics.

What you mean to say, I think, is "no design I associate with a worldview I don't like", because as stated, your position is simply directly false.

So, to simplify, does design exist in biology? Yes, it does, without question, be -we- have been doing it. You cannot have a model without design that in any way coherently describes basic biological reality. But, curiously, as you plead "explanatory power" you directly contradict reality, and beyond that, claim you have no idea what genetic engineering even "means".

And from that point, every step occurred without genetic design? Again, that's sheer conjecture.

So, has common unmodified descent been fully refuted in this last week, by virtue of the fact -we- did the design? You have no clue, with the coronavirus or innumerable (and growing) other cases.

You certainly don't know over the last 555 million years. This is simple fact.

No, not at all. -Your- position cannot differentiate, -mine- can.

It's a matter of cladistics analysis, and particular analysis of structures that are proposably not stepwise-survivable, and the associated probability of occurring given the population size, number of required mutations, and survivability of each independently, or the aggregate capability of them happening "all at once" in the alternative. You can consider the requirement of proposing a mouse gave birth to a cat, not falsification, but in coherent reality, it is.
