Why couldn't mother nature design the male body so that the most vunlerable areas are stored within the body. People say testicles need to be a few degrees cooler, but then why didn't nature make them cool and warm up themselves. Many other organs do that inside the body, but testis were somewhat left out. If God created Adam to be a perfect specimen, why did he hang a sack of sensitive organs outside his perfect male body? Is this a flaw in the male design?

I'd have to agree. It seems there could have been a better design for the male anatomy. Perhaps, though, it was simply to give men a sense of vulnerability?

You know, nature also designed the temple to be only 1/8 inch thick, so you can punch right through it into the brain. There is an intense about of physical pain when you kick hard into the shins. Humans have no protection, other than clothes, against the weather. There are hundreds of 'imperfections' of the body.
But if there's one thing we've learned, it's that natural selection chooses those animals with the best traits to move on. So, guys with their testicles outside their bodies are better off then guys with their testicles inside their bodies. Sure, it hurts to get hit, but it hurts to have an axe hit your arm, also.
We have this reaction to automatically protect our genitals. You have to be not paying attention, or incredibly slow to take a shot off the sack. Slowpokes like that won't make it in the world of competitive mating, so they're more likely to not survive. It's evolution, my friends.

Well, duh! How about the eyes and the ears? How about the Adam's apple? Then there are the carotid arteries...There are more than 100 pressure points on the human body. Pressure on any one of those points can cause death; that doesn't include gauging eyes, popping ears, etc.
I know David in the Louvre might make people think of a "perfect" body, there is no such thing.
If you consider what people do to others with knives, swords, etc., you know that putting these "parts" inside the body would make no difference.

Certainly a good question.
There must be something in nature's reasoning for them to be external - aside from just temp. It's a pretty universal thing for mammals, isn't it? Maybe they are attractive to potential mates?
Although, it's probably the most efficient way for cooling and heating. The sack can relax and tighten up to vary the distance between them and our body. Perhaps that's really just it. Nature does like efficiency.

I would never say God wasn't perfect, perhaps the male was the first experiment? And then God realized he/she had better do much better than that. Funny, isn't? How historically men have thought coming first was better? The smart ones realize they really shouldn't have come first . . .

the testicles are actually designed to be warmed and cooled. when they are too warm they hang low, when they are too cool, they rise up. and if God made Adam so perfect, why didn't he stop there? He had to improve upon man so he created woman

Lekmich.. if the question is dumb.. don't answer it! Duh!
No its not a flaw.. men are prefect. .. womens breast and hips make it hard for them to run fast... plus they bleed every month and get infections in their Vagina... that could be a flaw too.

Everyone is beating around the bush here.
You are absolutely right, there is flaw.
Mother nature is flawed. God is flawed. Natural selection is also flawed for similar reasons.

It is a little ugly scrunched up thing isn't it. Whats more disgusting is all the hair.
I do love God and all his creations are good. Just some of them are ugly.
No I do not think it is a flaw. At least he made guys arms long enough so they can reach and protect it.
Then also, some guys are able to shrink it up so that it does tuck in a little.

If they were inside the body, then we'd have to rub our eyes in the morning, because we lost our scratching post.
