I would dispute this claim.

Really? How can you? You'd have to deny all three mechanisms of evolution, mutations, drift and natural selection.

But in that case your "hallmark of design" merely amounts to an argument from ignorance. Until we've found out how life began, you're going to assume it was designed.
