If I'm "intelligently designed" wouldn't it have been more intelligent to make my pee smell garden fresh after eating asparagus?

In the 18th century, a physician to the French royal family wrote in his Treatise on all sorts of foods that asparagus "eaten to Excess... causes filthy and disagreeable Smell in the Urine."2 The smell cannot be noticed in raw or cooked asparagus, so it is believed that the body converts a compound within asparagus into a metabolite, which can then be smelled in the urine. The odour is often described as the smell of rotten or boiling cabbage, or even ammonia, and is believed to be due to the presence of methyl mercaptan, also known as methanethiol, which is a sulphur containing derivative of the amino acid methionine.

God had nothing to do with it (or with anything else). The color and odor arises from a substance called aspergillin, which is excreted rather rapidly by the kidneys.

He did that so that you may ask this question. He knew that you would ask this question, and that I would came to save you from Satan. Do not worry about that, do not think in that way. God is real and Jesus is ready to take you as one of his, just give him a chance.
