or is it perfectly engineered?

The flaw is in the ego.

What exactly is a flaw? Our bodies are very flawed if you compare them to the bodies of the animals of the wild which are able to adapt to their environment. On the other hand, our powerful minds compensate for that. Perhaps we will not recognize our flaws until thousands of years later when we evolve. Until then, I guess we are all perfect.

Sure there are flaws. People have lots of problems that can be directly linked to the fact that we walk upright. For example, circulation. Our heart pumps tons of blood to our feet, but as we age and our heart weakens, we have problems feeling our feet (or problems with veins in our legs, etc.) and sometimes they even die prematurely (although this is MUCH more common in diabetics). This doesn't happen with other mammals like cats, dogs, or even other primates, because their hearts don't have to circulate that much blood so far away. If humans walked on four legs like pretty much every other mammal, we would not have problems like that, or they would be much less common anyway.

There are many. How could a well-designed body be subject to so many diseases and injuries ? How is it "perfect" that men have nipples ? The fatal flaw is that we have a brain that makes us incredibly clever, but not much more sensible than the other apes.

The human body does have a TON (or more) of imperfections, yet the beauty about it is the way that it is perfect. It is perfect because of the way it evolves and changes in response to its environment. This process takes a while though . . .

I want to believe in evolution, but when I look at the human body, I have to ask, what the h***?! Why are the male reproductive parts hanging out there where anyone can kick, punch or pull them? Why do we have fingernails that are so painful when they are ripped out? Why are eyeballs so sensitive? Why are we so hairy, when we have clothes? Why do guys have nipples? I feel like we are devolving. Humans are such wimps.

yes in the mind theres tons of flaws. but in the body the 2 that i can think of are the tonsils and the appendix. we don't really need them some say their left-over parts from our less evolved ancesters.

It is an evolutionary process. So, since evolution can never be complete there are potential flaws from evolutionary remnants. This is a cool website check it out. http://www.livescience.com/animals/top10_vestigial_organs.html

You mean aside from having a playground right beside a waste disposal unit?

yes and yes.
It is only perfect if it also includes error.
The enherrent creation of the universe is from nothing, so the error / opposites / justice / wrath must be handled.
