...why are we so prone to sunburn? Why do people go bald? Wouldn't teeth be better in one plate-like ridge instead of pieces that need flossing and brushing? Why is the heart so prone to failure?

Perhaps the intelligent designer wasn't so intelligent after all.... or perhaps there is no intelligent designer.
Gosh and golly, could it be?

Some Christians say it's because Eve ate the wrong fruit, but they're missing the point. While our bodies are not intelligently designed, that doesn't mean that our tailbones, vestigal hair, and so on are necessarily harmful.
It also misses the political point of the ID movement, which is supposed to put the Christian theology into the background (or at least pretend to).
Then again, you're looking for reason from IDiots.
Edit: The idiocy of the "vapor canopy" lives on.
Several points. First, absence of radioactivity would not prolong our lives. Lifespan is strongly correlated to telomere length, and those get shorter through cell division, not radioactivity.
Second, every scientist considers the "vapor canopy" to be a joke.
Third, we have mountains of evidence against every detail of the young earth creationist crowd.
Fourth, ID is a form of OLD EARTH creationism, and it's (supposedly, but not in practice) separate from YEC and Christian theology. If the only thing you can do to save it is invoke YEC and Christian theology, then you know as well as everyone else (and the whole world, post-Dover trial) that ID is bankrupt.

The teeth are made perfectly for eating all foods, cutting, grinding and everything. The teeth perform a function and it works so there is no problem, the brushing thing is dumb and you just might as well ask why we need to shower, or clean our shoes when we walk through the mud.
Because of our sun, which in the beginng if there was indeed a canopy of water in the atmosphere (as stated in the Bible) then man was not prone to sunburn, and since we sinned and God destroyed the atmosphere to shorten our lives the radioactvie elemnts come through.
The heart like anything else wears down in time, yes some are born with problems and others are not. God's plan for cetain people, but indeed for most people the heart stands strong and does everything that it needs to... alot of this has to do with what we eat, and the things that modern man eat or put into our food.
As far as baldness goes....i will have to get back to you on that...

God gives us common sense. Why sit out in the hot sun like an idiot and let yourself get sunburned? Why do some people willingly shave themselves bald? If our teeth were one plate like ridge, what would happen if part of it decayed? Why do people smoke and have unhealthy diets? The question you've asked are pretty pointless and stupid, but then again, you are an atheist so perhaps we should expect as much. LOL. Our bodies our intelligently designed. We, however, have to start making intelligent decisions in the things we put in and do with them. Peace and God bless.

We're not perfect. Simple as that. Perhaps through scientific pursuit, we can overcome these health challenges.
Amazing how many different answers you get to that. Particularly the one about how we're de-evolving following the great fall and how we're falling apart or something. So macroevolution is true, but science has it backwards. Or the water canopy thing with radiation, etc.

The Lord knew that we would be troubled by the temptation to sin: to pick our noses and wipe our findings off onto the back of mother's couch. Our smaller nostrils are proof of the Lord's loving intentions. This also explains why Judd Nelson is clearly not one of God's people.

And why do we grow old and ugly? Why do things like cancer and Alzheimer's happen? Maybe it was intelligent design by committee...

Most of these things are the direct result of modern day diets. Eat more veggies--fresh or frozen are the best. If you must eat canned, rinse the salt off.

Everything would be fine if we died at 45 the way we're supposed to.
