icarus62 just asked a great question about Intelligent Design, and I was intrigued by an answer that 'no one has ever been able to find a single flaw in any of God's creations'.
The answer intrigued me. Let me ask this - do you find the design of the human body to be flawless?

The human body was very fine tuned due to evolution because the ever changing enviroment of earth. If we went to any other planet we would quickly die. I believe our bodies are fantastic but are still flawed. Our bodies are way to frail and if it wasn't for technology and science we wouldn't be as successful.

If one person says flawless and another says flawed, there's really no way to reconcile this. The person who says flawed will point out various weaknesses in the human body and susceptibility to illness, and the person who says flawless will simply respond that it was planned to be that way, that people were meant to die because of injury and illness.
For my argument, I'll go back to Genesis. God creates Adam and then Eve from Adam, the first two people (we can debate this one later, but for now I'm going by that story). These are direct creations of God, not even transitive through birth from a woman's body. They are supposed to be in his finest creations and are living in ideal circumstances, yet they disobey the one restriction placed on them. To me, that seems like a flaw. If you want to blame the snake, then you could say the flaw was in people's susceptibility to temptation.
In short, flawed, not flawless.

Hello!! :o) I believe that Adam and Eve were flawless. But sin caused them [and consequently - all of us] to BECOME 'flawed'. That said... If I painted a picture. Would it be 'flawed'? And if so - according to WHO?! It would be MY 'creation' - so who would be in a position to criticize?! I could simply argue that what one sees is what I intended. So therefore - IT is NOT 'flawed'. Have a great day!! Craig!! :o)

Well I have a question for those that believe that Adam and Eve screwed it up for us...if God can make a perfect creation (us), then why did he also make us susceptible to temptation? It's circular reasoning. It's like saying that beauty of the world is proof of a creator, and yet the ugliness in the world is our creator testing our faith, or we blame it on Eve.

I always thought that humans created God
and the God was flawless, at the time of its creation...

God created a perfect world. Man rejected it. Everything became flawed. It is like the mold was perfect but man injected air bubbles in it.

When God created human it was good and flawless but when sin enter in it brought on destruction then death. We die daily because of sin.

No, we are flawed by sin.
