What I want to see is triple-fail continuing to assert divine design when he reaches middle age - assuming they are male - and needs to take a piss but can't, because his enlarged prostate has blocked his ability to do so.

There's this book.

Glad I'm not stuck inserting what some ancient book says into every bit of understanding I come up with.

It was for me. It felt so good when I completely stopped trying to make science fit my book.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

At least atheism exists it doesn't need a book or require faith at all or some type of deity.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.

Well it does require theism I suppose.  Without the strange claims there would be nothing to dismiss.

You're talking like God has restrictions to work around. Where did these come from?

That goes back to one of my original answers.  Why could we not just have been 'plant' people?  Just live off the sun and air.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

A designer that can create a creature who can choke to death on a pretzel is so incompetent he makes Baldrick look like a genius.

Think about the success rate of eating. I don't even feel like I can speculate a reasonable ratio of successful attempts at eating to the attempts that end in choking. Just be thankful we've got mechanisms to prevent choking.

Just be thankful that someone managed to have an epiglottis back when the interface first evolved, or else every single member of the species would have choked to death.

It's not obvious that problems would arise from separating the respiratory system from the digestive system.

But where would you put them??
