Well, the top of my desk here at work, is substantive proof that order does not imply design... while I have neat little ordered piles, I have no idea where anything is... it is complete chaos! lol

a mere “explosion” could not create our awesome universe with its amazing order, design and law. Only a mighty organizer and lawmaker could direct the powerful forces at work so that they would result in superb organization and law. Hence, scientific evidence and reason provide solid backing for the Bible’s declaration: “The heavens are declaring the glory of God; and of the work of his hands the expanse is telling.”—Psalm 19:1.
Among the many precise conditions vital to life on the earth is the amount of light and heat received from the sun. The earth gets only a small fraction of the sun’s energy. Yet, it is just the right amount required to sustain life. This is because the earth is just the right distance from the sun—an average 93,000,000 miles. If the earth were much closer to the sun or farther away from it, temperatures would be too hot or too cold for life.
As it orbits the sun once a year the earth travels at a speed of about 66,600 miles an hour. That speed is just right to offset the gravitational pull of the sun and keep the earth at the proper distance. If that speed were decreased, the earth would be pulled toward the sun. In time, Earth could become a scorched wasteland like Mercury, the planet closest to the sun. Mercury’s daytime temperature is over 600 degrees Fahrenheit. However, if Earth’s orbital speed were increased, it would move farther away from the sun and could become an icy waste like Pluto, the planet whose orbit reaches farthest from the sun. Pluto’s temperature is about 300 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.
In addition, the earth consistently makes a complete rotation on its axis every 24 hours. This provides regular periods of light and darkness.
This is only a small example of the marvellous design which can only have come from a Creator . Many have come to the conclusion that this could hardly be due to undirected chance. Instead, they see the unmistakable stamp of thoughtful, intelligent, deliberate design everywhere. Recognizing that, they feel it is only right that the beneficiaries “fear God and give him glory” because he is “the One who made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.”—Revelation 14:7

No order does not imply design. Snowflakes, crystals, amino acids will and do form naturally. Recently RNA like structures were observed forming out of space dust.

Order implies some ability to respond to the environment, nothing more.

You assume that there is order in our our universe. The fact is that our world and universe are continuing towards atrophy. That is the natural way of things. We're gonna die out sooner or later.

Seeing order out of chaos is a human trait... given enough time we could find "design" in darn near anything, (If there are exceptions to the rules of the order we've found, we organize them, too.)
Intelligent design is nonsense and so is belief in "the designer."

even highly unorderly things can get into order given 16 billion years ,, no need to introduce some magic in it
