Beyond all assumption, what are the qualifiers to determine if a thing is designed or not designed?

I’ve prepped a small file to illustrate the question.

Not the best examples and I hope you will provide links to other objects that are questionably designed or not designed. How can we tell if a thing is intentionally from a mind or simply the product of pure chaotic chance?

Design must always come from a mind. Yet chaos does not need a mind at all. That alone accounts for a monumental chasm in between the objects that are produced by each of them. But looking at the end result is often hard to determine how an object came into existence.

It’s got to be more than a hunch, or a feeling. How can we be sure?
