As we evolve, G-d gives us ways to protect ourselves. Just be happy as time goes by, G-d keeps giving us what we need (our brains) to survive. We must help him to perfect the world, to truly make it a holy place. If he just gave us perfection, we would not be working hand in hand with him. We need to do our part, too.

Nope you are 100% wrong. It's not your fault because you have been taught that intelligence is evil and wrong
*ALL* life on earth is sensitive to the sun and the reason why life started in the oceans (to avoid the sun's powerful rays before we had ozone protection) and ALL lifeforms with eyes will shield from direct sun since it is is made of all types of light which the optic nerves cannot handle...optics can only hand small part of sun's light, so there goes that little proof against evolution...here's a free tip..check out reality b4 you make a claim.
As for the shot..we ARE protected from common dirt and billions of germs and every time you are sick and get better you are protected from more...but just because we have evolved doesn't mean the germs do NOT evolve because THEY DO! A very good example os the doctors giving everyone antibiotics for every single sniffle and because of this the germs of today are becoming immune to the antibotics..we are causing them to evolve because we are making germs come into contact with antibiotics constantly as opposed to once in a great while (kinda like tetnis..we don't encounter enough to be immune and it mutates constantly)
I would rather think that we have evolved and we are still EVOLVING towards a better life since evolution is a progression. but you seem to think it is better that we were made to be stupid, ugly, dirty, and weak. You think God DESIGNED the world so that we would be easy prey for just about anything? That is just sick in my opinon that we are frozen where we are and can't become anything more....but I guess I can understand since creationists tend to worship darkness, evil, and beastiality (and usually so evil not even Satan can stand them)

Three reasons: 1. Evolution takes time. 2. There has to be Natural selection pressures sufficient to produce the change. 3. There has to be an existing mechanism that can be slowly adapted.
If sunlight was such an evolutionary pressure that it reduced our likely hood of having offspring then we probably would have better protection than eyelids and eyebrows and irises that contract and eye pigmentation. But those are sufficient to allow us to survive in order to have babies so that is all the protection that evolved.
We do evolve resistance to disease but it takes a while. Also diseases are evolving at the same time so as not to kill off their hosts. That is why old diseases that have been around for a long time such as the common cold are so much less dangerous than new diseases such as aids. And why a flu that has swept through a population multiple times is less deadly than one which has not appeared before.
The facts you mention are actually evidence for evolution. You just don't understand evolution very well.

I've heard this argument before. It's made by people who haven't really thought about or looked into evolution very much. Arguing that we're not perfect is exactly the type of argument that takes away from creationists. If we were made, you'd think that we'd be perfectly made for our world. The opposite is true though. We are imperfect. Evolution never stops. All life on Earth is still evolving right now. Evolution actually says that life is imperfect. There are residual structures such as dew claws on dogs. Why would a creator give us things that we didn't need or that weren't perfect. He's supposed to be perfect, right? And everything he does is perfect?

You could easily turn your question around and ask why a Creator would not create our sight in such a way that we did not need to shield our eyes from the sun or create us with immunity to tetanus. Mother nature is not out to protect us. Evolution occurs due to random mutations in an organism's genetic code and if those changes are beneficial and result in the organism living longer and reproducing more then those changes are passed on. The evolution model does not create the perfect fit for the environment - for one thing the environment and habitats change over time - but allows the possibility for change and adaptations to new stresses. Obviously, the mutations needed for beneficial changes do not always happen, which is why many species end up extinct.

Think of pesticides. You use a pesticide on a swarm of bugs. It kills most of the bugs, but not all of them. They reproduce new bugs. You use the pesticide again. Some bugs die off, some live. The reproduce. You pesticide again. Some die some live.
After a while, the entire colony will be immune to the pesticide. They EVOLVED to survive their conditions of pesticides.
We are not in life threatening danger, so we haven't been evolving
All life forms don't look directly at the sun. You watch the discovery channel, you see lions squint and look away from the sun. The alter has occured though. There have been a recently discovered scorpion in a cave that was blocked off from the rest of the world. It's species had no way out of the cave. Scientists found this cave, and discovered since this cave had no sunlight whatsoever coming in, the scorpion species over time had become blind since their vision was no good to them..seeing as there was no light you see.

Most animals have eyelids to shield their eyes from the sun. Many take refuge in shade. So, your premises are wrong from the start.
Now consider the two possiblities:
1) God created everything perfectly.
2) We evolved and have to keep evolving and have to deal with other animals that have also evolved with us.
Hmm, seems your questions fit number 2 more than number 1. We need tetinus shots to ward off other animals that have evolved with us. If a god created us, we wouldn't have such a weakness.

Our eyes do not need protection from the sun we desire it. Other life forms shut their eyes or stand in the shade to shield their eyes from the sun. Humans live a lifestyle that enables us to be out in the sun more often and therefore we use devices to increase our comfort level while we are going about our lives. Animals in the wild die from disease all of the time. We would to if our brains had not evolved to the point that allows us to search and discover medicines and procedures that can prolong our lives. Common sense. Something that many have not been able to obtain. Maybe evolution will take care of that too. Someday.

So.. if I get the gist of your argument, we could NOT have evolved because we are NOT perfect. Since we get infections and the sun can damage our retinas, then this is proof we were created and have not evolved.
Whoever told you that evolution makes a species perfect is a gagster, and you, my friend, would thus qualify for the Gullible Award of the decade.
Think about it: What would be the POINT to evolution if it there didn't exist unfavorable characteristics?
But looked at from your viewpoint, are you saying the creator blew it by creating us in such a flawed manner? It seems like a lousy piece of engineering to me.

I am not certain your statement "We had to have been Created the way we are and could not have evolved" could be proved based only on the information you stated. Maybe we are still evolving.... and 'we' aren't finished yet =)
With your minimal information, i don't think you can accurately state that. Especially because if we were created, wouldn't we have been created perfectly without flaws.... that is the usual argument.
I am a spiritual person and do not dispute one or the other however, i think there are more things to consider than just that.
Best of luck

Evolution doesn't just "stop". Many other life forms have "built in" defenses from bright light and tree branches(a second eyelid).
Tetanus doesn't come from common dirt, it comes from a specific bacteria, if evolution didn't exist there would be no way to "evolve" an artificial immunity(by injection) to any of those enviromental dangers.
Your question does not "prove" anything but an ignorance toward how things actually "work".
