This is in response to the idiotic clockmaker argument. Not everything that has complexity is designed.

The crystallization of water's molecular structure occur in random patterns and are a natural phenomena.

So in the context of the snowflake argument, is complexity defined in terms of order or chaos? And further, do the design of snowflakes appear orderly or chaotic? How do you define order vs. chaos? What natural process(es) would make them this way? How did the natural process of snowflake design making come about? What exactly do snow machines used at many ski resorts when enough snow doesn't fall on the mountains look like? Same or different from "real" snow?

The teleological arguement, as the clockmaker arguement is called. Anyway, the rebuttal to your rebuttal is that if god does exist, then yes, the snowflakes are all designed. If he doesn't then he doesn't. So really, who's begging the question here?
A clock can't be designed without some form of precision. The same can't be said of the universe: we have nothing to compare it to.

I believe that every snowflake is designed through natural processes and every one is completely different and unique than the others

Is it possible that the complexity occurs through natural processes that have been designed?

Natural processes obviously, great analogy!

whether you're being sarcastic or not, it's a good question that should make people think.
i do think all things are designed though.
