Our body is not perfect, not a bit of it! So much is sub-optimal. Our hips for example are not well suited to bi-pedalism, making us very prone to back problems. The eye, which is often trotted out by creationist as an example of irreducible perfection, is a rotten bit of design - the retina is wired up back to front!
Taken as something that has adapted and evolved, the human body is remarkable, and it is fascinating to contrast our anatomy with the other apes who did not make the same adaptations. If you are trying to peddle it as an example of an intelligent design, then the designer, frankly, wasn't very good!

Well some biologist will disagree with "how" perfect our body is.
Our body though does appear to be designed very well. The capacity for us to understand our world seems to continue to strech. I am AMAZED at how our body works together from the different functions each of our cells, to the functions of our organs for our body as a whole. I just wish I could treat mine better, so it would function better.
"what a shame we destory?" Destroy what?

I just can't believe the number of responses you got saying that our bodies are not perfect. Well, they ARE! Try making one and let me see where it'll get any of you.
God made our bodies perfect! And we are insulting His creationism by destroying ourselves. Smoking, drinking, eating junk-food, having plastic surgeries, starving ourselves to death to look good in SOME people's eyes. And just take a look at standards this society is giving us. Waifish is good, waifish is bad, athletic is good -- sorry, athletic is bad. Narrow hips? Great. Narrow hips? Too bad.
Shameless indeed! May God have mercy on us.

The temple is destroyed slowly by our belief in what we have been told is OK to put in our bodies. The Dantes' deadly sins all destroy from the inside out.

You have to take into account how fragile we really are. An ant can fall from a 4 foot table and walk away from it. An Ant can carry how may times his weight. Our bodies are far from perfect.
Take sea tortoises. Without all the advances in medical science, they out live us all the time. Granted they don't have higher intelligience, but you would think since we do, we could live longer then them.

Our body is far from perfect.
For the first four years we are almost helpless without almost constant protection and help from others.
Beyond the age of fifty the body starts to die slowly, becoming old, decrepit and infirm.
We are susceptible to a vast array of horrible diseases and afflictions that can cause incredible pain and suffering.
Our bodies are quite delicate and are easily damaged by the slightest thing. We have to walk around with clothes on to avoid being too hot or too cold.
Men have ugly ball sacks that have to be stored outside of the body or the sperm will die. Women suffer immense pain during child birth, can can often die (less likely now with thousands of years of medical advancements).
Our body needs to ingest food and liquid regularly or it will die. If we eat the wrong food we can be in pain or die. Our 'perfect' body emits all kinds of horrible smells unless it is washed regularly.
All in all, to call our bodies perfect is a gross overstatement. There are dozens of inherent design flaws, which would seem to call into question it being created in the image of a perfect being, by a perfect being.

Well its not perfect and what do you mean you destroy? I don't kill people.
OH and I don't just mean my body isnt perfect (though it isnt) evolution has left huge fingerprints on our anatomy. I won't go in to them, many atheists will be aware of them and theists will think the evidence was put there by satan.

Yeah I don't uinderstand why people hurt themselves on purpose or do other things to hurt themselves. I do not think at all that our bodies are perfect. I think why did God make our bodies so flimsy, like how could they break so easily, if we are his best creation. That questions me.

The human body is a disaster. It can't synthesise vitamin c and is prone to damage in the foot bones and ligaments because it was originally designed for walking on all fours, to name but two of its many defects.
