Mathematical accurately in proper proportion. Do you think that magic can do all of this.

with proper function

Because we are kludges. We are whatever works. If we were in the wrong proportion we wouldn't work and die.

You obviously have NO idea what magic can do. But that's neither here, not there. Also, if you took a few art classes, you'd learn that most people's bodies do not fall into the mathematically perfect proportions invented by the Greeks, or the slightly different ones adhered to by Leonardo DaVinci.
Science can explain why we are the way we are- that which is not perfectly suited to its environment dies. It is as simple as that. Religion can also explain it. We are here because some power deemed it right that we be here, and be as we are. I do not see how these things are mutually exclusive.
Also, my body WASN'T created accurately. I am legally blind, and I have a weak heart. I choose to believe that there is some reason for this, that I am as I am supposed to be, but this is easily explained also by the fact that my environment is such that I can survive, even if I am slightly flawed.

No I do not think magic can do all that you have described, but I do not think that the Creator can be defined by humans. Personally I do not think that God is a man I mean think about: from the waist up both the male and female forms are anatomically sound visually, but from the waist down on the male form you are scratching you head and the phrase that comes to mind is "what in the heck is that?" Where as with the female form it is still stream lined and still visually sound. (I am not being perverted here, if it sounds as if I am I apologize to all).
Lastly we are not all carbon copies of each other, we all have our own ideas, feelings, thoughts, and beliefs. If there was a "One True Religion" then we would have been believing it since the dawn of human existence. That is all.
*steps off soap box*
Have a good day.
BB to all.

No, I don't believe in magic.
I don't think you've thought your question through very well. You say our bodies and the universe are "created accurately". Accurate to what? Isn't the proper proportion just whatever proportion we happen to be in? If we were all a foot shorter you'd still be calling us accurate.
And isn't the 'proper' function just whatever function things serve? You have no source outside the universe to compare our universe to, so you can't claim that it is proper or accurate.

I am Pagan... and I never said there was no God. I don't know many Pagans who would say such a thing. But yes, magic can do all this. That is what magic is. This is what God(s) is.
But where you're finding these perfect bodies, I'd like to know. I would like to place an order and so would most of the folks I'm acquainted with.

Why are the choices either God or magic? Maybe our bodies are mathematically accurate and in perfect proportion... because that's how we evolved. Our bodies had to be just right for us to actually survive.

God snapping his fingers IS magic doofus.
And man as a species is far from perfect. Why do you think we have a tailbone (coccyx) or an appendix? Why do most people need corrective lenses for our crappy eyesight? Why are humans among the slowest critters on earth and such easy prey for predators?
You obviously need a lot of education before you start asking such silly, ignorant questions.

Don't forget miscarriage and other complications involving labor. How about sudden infant death syndrome, or the high infant mortality rate of biblical times right up to the 20th century.
Our bodies are created accurately, 100% of the time?

Created accurately? You gotta be joking! Sicknesses, heart attacks, diabetes, genetic defects, short-sight, long-sight, the appendix, our tail are examples of accurate creation? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. Your creation idea is magic!mWe are the products of evolution by natural selction which is a trial & error process that works over a long period of time to make workable creatures not necessarily efficient & accurate ones.

Why is it a lot think that anything that is complex absolutely requires a creator. Do I know why it has happened... no.. but then no one else does either. As I see no evidence either way for a deity then I just take it as an unknown and I'm fine with that. Not everything in life needs an explanation.

Evolution. Creationists are the ones who belive in the Magic Wand Theory of the origins of life.
