It was natural selection a.k.a. common ancestor vs common designer. Natural selection is not a designer.
If god(s) intervene then the selection is not natural and the process is not evolution. It becomes genetic engineering.

"PRATTS"
I am clueless. I tried google, it wanders about looking at Pratt institute or people named Pratt.

I forgot John Pratt. Google finds a bunch of them. There is one with articles with some Mormon connection.
such as:
A "super constellation" formed of seven 7-star constellations, all arranged in a kite pattern representing the Priesthood Pattern of Seven, testifies that the constellations were designed as a unified set."

I hope you are not expecting me to remember more of this sort. On the other hand the planet Uranus has some potential for comedy. I have a hazy memory that this potential was amplified when rings around the planet were noted.
