I've heard some arguments from creationists saying that god had to have created us because our bodies are so complex and perfect. That is also an argument for evolution but it goes deeper unlike the creationists'.
If we really are perfect then why would a perfect god make us get goosebumps when we are frightened? It is useful in animals with fur because it makes their hairs stand up so they appear bigger to their predators but is completely useless in humans.
Also why would a perfect god give us an appendix, a completely useless organ? It is larger and useful in herbivores which shows that they could be an ancestor.
Why would a perfect god give us wisdom teeth? As our jaws are getting smaller less teeth can fit in our mouth, which is why they are removed.
Lastly, why would a perfect god give us a coccyx, tail bone? It was useful when our ancestors had tails to help them walk upright, but they are useless now. people have had it removed and they are fine without it.
