Ever hear of Stupid design?

Question

If not, here are some of the stupid things in both the universe and on our own planet that seem to prove that the universe was not made for us:

Universe:
Most planet orbits are unstable
Less the 3% of a gas cloud actually makes a star.
Most places kill life instantly - heat - - radiation- cold.
Galaxy orbits brings you near a supernova.
Our system will eventually collide with Andromeda system.
The universie is slowing winding down until eventually it would be to cold to sustain life (things are getting further apart)

Earth:

Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Tsunamis, Floods, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Lightning Strikes, kills hundereds of thousands of people every year and level cities.
We can't live on 2/3 of its surface.
Freeze or stave on half of what remains.
Mass extinctions from disease, climate shift and kkiller asteroids.
90% of all life that ever lived is now extinct.
3.5-billion years to make multi-cellular life.

Humans (excluding the fact that we all kill each other):

Agressive Childhood Lukemia, hemophilia, sickle cell anemia, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Parkinsons, ALS.
Our eyes can only see a tiny part of the electromagnetic spectrum (so much for the perfect creation, eh Paley?)
Vision loss with age, teeth fall out, Alzheimers, prostate cancer.
We exhale most of the Oxygen we inhale.
Warm-blooded must eat constantly compared with cold-blooded animals that dont have to eat daily (or even weekly)
Practically comatose for 1/3 of our lives.
Can't detect things that kill us like magnetic fields, ionizing radiation fields, Radon, CO, CH4, C02 (the last three are gases that kill us without us even being able to smell them.
Massive amount of birth defects.

Answer 1

Yes and it is called religion.

On a more serious note because of the reasons you give I have always thought life is just a temporary playground for a spirit. There is just to much intelligence in a spirit to believe it all ends with a physical death. It just doesn't make sense.

Answer 2

"Most planet orbits are unstable
Less the 3% of a gas cloud actually makes a star.
Most places kill life instantly - heat - - radiation- cold.
Galaxy orbits brings you near a supernova."

- Kind of makes you appreciate how unlikely it is that we are alive and typing to each other on a stable, habitible planet, eh?

"Our system will eventually collide with Andromeda system.
The universie is slowing winding down until eventually it would be to cold to sustain life (things are getting further apart)"

The big bang clued us in that the universe had a beginning when God spoke and the universe lept into existence. These facts you just mentioned point to the fact that the universe will indeed have an end. The book of Revelation states this plainly - this universe and this planet will be destroyed. Anything that you work hard for on this planet will eventually burn up either when Christ returns or when the Sun goes red giant - if you have put your hope and your dreams on things that exist in this material universe, they will disappear like dust in the wind... Only what is not material not of this physical world will remain...

"Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Tsunamis, Floods, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Lightning Strikes, kills hundereds of thousands of people every year and level cities."
- You might be interested in reading Genesis 3 where God cursed the very earth that we walk on because of Adam and Eve's sin... the planet we live on now is drastically different than the planet God originally created for us.

"We can't live on 2/3 of its surface." - I have 2 things to say to this:
1) worldwide flooding; God may have increased the water:land ratio during his judgement on the earth during the time of Noah
2) water serves many important functions for example: temperature control

"Freeze or stave on half of what remains.
Mass extinctions from disease, climate shift and kkiller asteroids.
90% of all life that ever lived is now extinct."
- I wonder how much of this is due to mankind's neglect and abuse of our environment which we were put here to care for (Genesis 1 & 2) and instead we pollute and destroy? How much hunger could be eliminated if we were to share what we grow and earn instead of turning a blind eye to our neighbors and to other countries?

"3.5-billion years to make multi-cellular life."
So you say?

"Humans (excluding the fact that we all kill each other)"
- Killing is a sinful act prohibited by God

"Agressive Childhood Lukemia, hemophilia, sickle cell anemia, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Parkinsons, ALS."
- Disease entered the world due to human sin, disease will be eradicated in the new heaven and the new earth that God is creating (see Revelation 21)

"Our eyes can only see a tiny part of the electromagnetic spectrum (so much for the perfect creation, eh Paley?)

"Vision loss with age, teeth fall out, Alzheimers, prostate cancer."

If not for the fall, these things would not happen, aging is really just cell decay and death - the failure of the cells to rejuvinate. Death is a result of the fall of man.

"We exhale most of the Oxygen we inhale."

So we are inefficient? Can't you increase your lung capacity with exercise? Is it that far of a stretch to think that in our perfect state our bodies would be more efficient (and certainly better exercised out working in the garden all day?)

"Warm-blooded must eat constantly compared with cold-blooded animals that dont have to eat daily (or even weekly)"
Perhaps eating is a pleasure to be constantly enjoyed? (I'm Italian, so I love to eat!) - Perhaps we eat and breathe so often to remind us of our dependence on God and his provision?

"Practically comatose for 1/3 of our lives."

In heaven we will not sleep. Sleep is necessary to rejuvinate our bodies - it will not be necessary when we are operating at peak, perfect efficiency being constantly renewed by the presence of God.

"Can't detect things that kill us like magnetic fields, ionizing radiation fields, Radon, CO, CH4, C02 (the last three are gases that kill us without us even being able to smell them."

And how often do these things occur in nature in lethal concentrations?

"Massive amount of birth defects."
- Again, a result of the fall which God will eliminate in heaven.

Answer 3

Morgaine gave a good detailed answer so I Will put it simply.
The Creation version of life starts with a perfect beginning, ruined by mans sin. From there on out everything deteriorates and eventually dies. Everything. The standpoint of evolution states most living things on earth should be improving through natural selection. Has to be for us to evolve forward from "Lucy" to modern Humans. Which is happening? You believe what you want.

Answer 4

existence revolves round existence and absence of life. a million lack of life and a million reborned. Its only the way the international works. Volcanoes eruption provide new lands Earthquakes swallows the undesirable Tsunamis, Floods, Tornadoes, Hurricanes. cleanse the earth of its impurities. Lightning strikes each and each of the infidels...! city factor to make concepts for brand new one. God is massive...!

Answer 5

I'm having deja vue. You posted this before. Anyway, it seems like all that just indicates life must be a miracle because the environment is so hostile to it.

Answer 6

Yes I have. Here is a video of Neil deGrasse Tyson. Although it looks like you watched it already. But here it is anyway.

Answer 7

Yeah, what's up with that. Why would an intelligent design include all of that. Good points.

Answer 8

"Stupid Design"? Hmmmm, God created everything in 6 days, then said it was very good..... Does this make God stupid? Or do we humans with finite minds maybe just not understand what His purpose is in allowing everything you just described??? (Romans 8:28)

Answer 9

good points, all of them--and the question was?
