Couldn't agree more. Evolution as a process has no regard for simplicity or elegance. The solutions that Natural Selection "comes" up with are random. I guess you could say that all organisms have a design, but that the design is irrational.
A lot of people expect that at the molecular level life is organized and sensible. But why should that be the case? On the macroscopic level, living organisms are a mess. It is my belief that at the biochemical level the chemical reactions are as organized as the branches on a tree---that the chaotic design of life at the microscopic level mirrors its design at the macroscopic level.
