I mean, if intelligent design is true, then it doesn't seem very intelligent to make people so sensitive in non-essential parts of their body, like their teeth and under their nails...and leave vital parts like their brain without sensation. Wouldn't it be more intelligent to give us teeth like sharks, that grow after the old ones fall out, rather than giving us only two sets?
And if evolution is true, how come we still only get two sets of teeth, and painful ones at that, after all those centuries of the survival of the fittest? What on earth is the evolutionary advantage conferred by toothache? I mean I can understand why your finger feels pain--so you won't leave it in the fire or whatever. But your teeth?
Maybe they're both wrong--the theists and the evolutionists-- and it was aliens who started the whole thing (ones with a perverted sense of humor perhaps...)

A toothache is one of the many signs that we are living too long. All this 'science' (he said, making quotation marks in the air) has allowed us to live for so long, and look at the problems it creates! (hunger, pollution, bad drivers, blue hair, etc.)
All kids should be taught Intelligent Design and not evolution. This will teach them that science is wrong, and evidence is NOT to be believed.
Then in about 20 years, when there are more people and especially more old people, but there are no scientitsts to figure how to solve the problems, the human race will implode and the average lifepsan will decrease significantly, and two sets of teeth will be plenty!
At this time a shark-human hybrid species will take over, because they have unlimited teeth!
I can't wait!

Just think about evolution for one second. Now we have 2 sets of teeth, the second set are supposed to last us for a good, say 50 years to be pessimistic. Now before the age of 50 we are expected to have had kids and therefore passed on our genetic material and any advantages it may have acquired due to chance mutations. Where is the problem then with having only 2 sets? Now if we only had 1 set that fell out at the age of 1 then we'd be in trouble! Tooth ache has evolved to tell us there is a problem with our teeth, we either need to take care of them, or lose the tooth before an infection spreads throughout our body and killing us. Simple. So a tooth ache, or 2 sets of teeth poses no problem to the theory of evolution. We know that the second permanent teeth last long enough so that we are able to reproduce before they fall out and we can no longer chew food.
Creationism however, well thats just a joke, not even worth the time arguing against.

WOW! Aliens made us! OK, so if you believe that god made us, then you also know that god created many other animals, and each of them received a unique characteristic. Humans weren't made to be all powerful and all, we have some bad qualities in us and some good ones. I mean if god rele wanted us to be like the supreme ones he could have given us a shell like a turtle so we'd never get hurt and all, but that didn't happen cause we got smart brains (at least some of us, jk lol), hearing, eyes and many other millions of things that he didn't give other animals.
And if you believe in evolution, some believe that we used to have two sets of teeth, but since we didn't need them anymore (they weren't getting worn out by plant eating and other reasons) we evolved to have only one set of teeth. And teeth aren't painful, unless you don't take care of them. Maybe the fact that you're having a toothache alerts you that you have a very unhealthy diet and you need to stop eating the sugars. Our teeth are sensitive because they tell you if something's gonna burn your tongue or give you a brain freeze and you rele don't want that.
Anyways aliens it is for you.

Well, evolution is a process... no-one's claiming that it's reached the pinnacle yet, and there are elements of the body that don't confer any advantage - the appendix and the vestigial tail, to name but two.
But the evolutionary advantage of toothache is the same as the evolutionary advantage of any other kind of pain - to warn us that the body's in danger.

First of all scientist just like to make excuses and come up with theories that prove things. We didn't evolve from sharks and what confuses me is that we apparently evolved from apes but if we came from apes why do apes still exist. And our closest DNA relative in the rat. Maybe you should brush you teeth more often. God helps those who help themselves.

Because, they have nerves, just like every other place in our bodies. If we could not feel pain there, we would not know if something was wrong. If you can't feel pain, how can you know you need to get your tooth fixed? If we don't have good teeth we can't eat, if you can't eat you become unhealthy.

It must be Sunday and for some reason everyone was "inspired" to go to Yahoo biology questions to answer with religious vigor.
Adam and Eve blamed in this day and age is hard to accept. But, here it is on Yahoo Answers in black and white.:(:(

In the beginning we were created perfectly by God but then sin came into the world thru man's choice and changed what was perfect with disease, sickness and ill health.
You can thank your toothache on original sin.
