If intelligent design is true, why are we so poorly designed?

Question

1. dual use of urine expulsion and sperm delivery system.
2. poor backbone design leading to easy injury and chronic pain
3. external male genitalia that are easily injured
4. proximity of input for both air and food, leading to hazard for choking and gastric gas.
5. my clogged sinuses that cannot drain with any efficiency

Evolutionary theory can explain these, but if my house were this poorly designed, I'd drag the architect/contractor to court.

Answer 1

Add to the list poorly "designed" foot bone structure (coincidentally better designed for 4 legged primates). Can't synthesise vitamin c. As a species we're a disaster. It's an insult to any God to accuse him of having designed us.

Answer 2

On the contrary, the human is a feat of engineering.

1. Back up systems
2. Backbone is designed like a crane. Balanced. We put it out of balance with poor posture and obesity.
3. Easy access
4. Great traffic control. Less Wasted area.
5. I can't answer for yours but mine are fine.
A good vacuum would help.

Evolution can explain your sinuses?

Answer 3

1. This is called 'efficiency'.
2. Easy injury and chronic pain? I have never had these issues and I'm a fairly rough and tumble kinda gal. Maybe you just know a lot of stupid people who don't know how to lift properly?
3. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! Proof that the lord their god is an angry god. And female.
4. Chew your food, with your mouth closed, don't talk with your mouth full, etc - and that won't be a problem.
5. Those are your own crappy genetics. I'm so sorry you're not of Scandinavian and Teutonic extraction. We're perfect, you know.

Speak for yourself when you say 'poorly designed'.

Answer 4

Well, maybe you got it all wrong, but the meaning is right.
I'll explain:
We were created in the image of God...guess what? It's women; all children in the womb for the first few weeks are actually female, created in God's design, until it's decided if a male is needed for one reason or another. But, the design lingers...men still have nipples, don't they?
Anyway, the world got screwed up because the power of man was far too formidable a force for women to control...and women don't control anyway. compassion and creativity is drowned in destruction and rule.
What if the female ruled the world...it would be a beautiful place, therefore a truly intelligent design because it would then mimic God.

Answer 5

Of all things known on this planet,, Humans knowledge of Science is the most backward. What the so called expert scientist believes to be true today will be laughed at 100 years from now. Even Einsteins theories are being broken on a daily bases.
Evolution?? it's all guess work,,they don't have a clue.
Faith?? well it's just that,, Faith

Answer 6

Here's the deal. Back in the time. Creatures as vulnerable as us would have been quickly wiped off the face of the earth. We would be killed, eaten, enslaved by insects. However due to our use of technology and our supreme intellect we are able to dictate the rules of evolution in our favor.

For example. In nature an animal stupid enough to walk into traffic will eventually be selected against. Humans do stupid crap like needing "may contain peanuts" written on peanut butter jars. Stupidity in the animal kingdom works against a species' fitness and ability to reproduce. However in humans it works the opposite way.

Answer 7

Yeah, what about the male scrotum. Very poor strategic placement. Why not put testicles INSIDE, where they are safe? Well, because the body can't produce sperm at human body temperature. That's just chemistry. Not possible.

Now, if I were an "intelligent designer" who could do anything, I'd just change the chemistry to accomodate my design instead of that ridiculous work around we call the scrotum.

But hey, I ain't God.

Answer 8

Oh, didn't you know that humans are designed flawlessly? My most recent question is exactly on this topic, and a bunch of people came along saying that we _were_ created flawless but that damn Adam and Eve went and messed it all up.

Unbelievable, eh?

Ask a Harun Yahya-following Muslim and they'll say, uncategorically, that humans _are_ perfectly designed and that there are no 'vestigial organs' - "we just haven't discovered a use for them yet".

Isn't that great? Some people can spin things so well that it makes me dizzy to watch them...

(BTW, ID is rubbish)

Answer 9

Not to mention the animal species that have died off due to poor design.

Answer 10

Human pelvis "design" causes human females to be the only animals to have pain during childbirth.
