How does religion explain birth defects?

[Skipper]

@ Skipper why does evolution allow for birth defects in humans, what possible purpose do these awful birth defects serve in evolution? Is evolution on the hunt for the perfect human or might it be that evolution is nothing more than random acts with no real purpose at all? With humans and apes sharing 98% of there DNA why is it that these types of birth defects do not show up in the apes very often? Did evolution leave us shorted on this or has the human race not been selective enough in its breeding? Since a lot of evolutionist and even some on this site believe that in the grand scheme of things, humans have no more value than any other animal, why don't we just kill the defective babies and rid our species of these terrible traits? Why has evolution left us with such a weakness as to feel a survival connection to such deformed animals which places a burden on the society as a whole? Why should I have to pay out taxes to help keep such defective people up when the rest of the animal kingdom rids themselves of this problem, why are my tax dollars wasted on studies of these defects because evolution left the human race without the sense to rid itself of defective babies? Just wanting to know how you and other nonbelievers felt about this?

You speak as if evolution has a plan. It dosen't. You speak as if it's a conscious guiding force with a goal. I never said it did. I said science can explain why things such as birth defects happen (obviously not all, but we're getting there) and once we understand we can start to combat them.

It's religion that with all it's claims of an all loving and powerful father that's got answers to provide.
