Appearances Can Be Revealing

At the very beginning of his book "The Blind Watchmaker" Richard Dawkins שר"י writes that biology is “the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose”.

Here is an idea: Maybe the world has the appearance of having been designed for a purpose because it was actually designed for a purpose. 

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and talks like a duck - maybe it is actually a duck and not a camel that gives the appearance of being a duck.
