Practise.

From my experience some guys need more practice.

Why did God design the human prostrate in such a way that it could produce orgasms through direct stimulation, then place it where it could only be easily stimulated by another man inserting his penis into the rectum, and then sentence to death anybody who engaged in this process?

Okay, I need popcorn for this.

The answer, if there is one forthcoming, will be most entertaining.

"Perversion of God's perfect design" in 3... 2... 1...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Quote:The wedge strategy is a political and social action plan authored by the Discovery Institute, the hub of the intelligent design movement. The strategy was put forth in a Discovery Institute manifesto known as the Wedge Document,[1] which describes a broad social, political, and academic agenda whose ultimate goal is to defeat materialism, naturalism, evolution, and "reverse the stifling materialist world view and replace it with a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions."[2] The strategy also aims to affirm what it calls "God's reality."[3] Its goal is to change American culture by shaping public policy to reflect conservative Christian, namely evangelical Protestant, values.[4] The wedge metaphor is attributed to Phillip E. Johnson and depicts a metal wedge splitting a log to represent an aggressive public relations program to create an opening for the supernatural in the public’s understanding of science.[5]

Gee. That doesn't sound like science to me.

Neither does this sound like a scientific treatise: http://www.antievolution.org/features/wedge.pdf

God didn't want us to fly like birds, so he didn't give us wings. He didn't want us to live in the deep ocean, so he didn't give us gills. He didn't want us to engage in gay anal sex, so he... specifically designed the entire apparatus to perfectly accommodate it?

Don't be so obtuse.

Without a nipple....a man boob would have no point.

Let's change our line of sight. That will be hard for the literalist and the abused or mentally ill.

Let change our perspective to something in us.

Could "it" look like intelligent design to ATP synthase F0?
If it was complex enough could it "sense" you? and then misread you as all Omni everything?
Would it be natural? a normal occurrence?
would a tooth look alive to this fictional ATP thingies? But is the tooth part of something "bigger", something ATP synthase can't predict? or see? Could "you" emerge from its perspective.

The answer is simply Yes. This simple line of logic means "no nothing" will ever take hold. And simple minds can't conceive of why. You may not like it, more like you are afraid of it.

But none the less ... it is what it is.

No, it barely qualifies as a hypothesis.

More than a hypothesis, it is a fact of reality.

Mycoplasma Laboratorium is a synthetic species of bacterium. Within the DNA of the species is a series of water marks. These water marks are too complex to have evolved and can only be the product of intelligent design.

2.watermark 2 contains a list of authors and a quote from James Joyce: "To live to err, to fall, to triumph, to recreate life out of life".

3.watermark 3 contains more authors and a quote from Robert Oppenheimer (uncredited): "See things not as they are, but as they might be".

4.watermark 4 contains yet more authors and a quote from Richard Feynman: "What I cannot build, I cannot understand".

It has been demonstrated scientifically that biological systems can be intelligently designed and contain systems which are irreducibly complex.

Based on a sample size of exactly one laboratory-created bacterium that we not only know was deliberately designed, but we also know the identities of the designers?
