Yes it is completely wrong. You don't seem to grasp concepts of probability very well. When the same number comes up on a roulette wheel four times in a row, it doesn't make a designer any more likely.

What you say about the roulette wheel is only correct if you know the wheel to be true. If the same number comes up four times in a row would you fault the pit boss for closing the table and checking the wheel for trueness?

The difference in your thinking and mine is that I am open to the ideal of a designer while you are certain one does not exist. Your closed-minded-certainty is clouding your thinking about this.
