And...it would be so cool if there were species somewhere in the universe who have evolved to the point they only communicate through design. It's very pragmatic when you consider this.

I watched a crochet video since I am in the process of mastering complicated techniques in creating motifs and this video was in Russian. Well, I do not speak fluent Russian. I watched the video, which is of a woman's hands and crochet hook creating this pattern with the yarn and I discovered it doesn't matter if she is speaking Russian or Swahili. As long as I can see her hands, the hook and the yarn, I can do what she is doing!

What do you mean by "by design"?

Thats interesting because back when I took archeology/anthropology course there was much speculation about the subject of at what point in the evolution of stone age technology you need language to learn it:lower paleolithic? middle paleolithic? Upper paleolithic? The French researcher Francois Bordes actually tried to test it by getting living people to learn to make stone tools without language. Dont know what the results were. But apparently something a complex as crocheting can be learned by watching only, and without understanding speech.

Nope.. Mathematics and Science are human abstract constructs..

While humans can abstractly construct a formula for PHI or a Complex metaphorical verbal phrase named the Golden Spiral, this repeated design throughout nature can be observed and repeated WITHOUT math, science, culture, collective recorded intelligence, complex written human language OR WITHOUT frigging human nature at all..

Common fallacy.. Anthopomorphizing the rest of nature....with human abstract concepts...

Scientists and preachers are known to do it too...
