When the design flaws are the cause of failure, that's bad design. There are a huge number of flaws that would be trivial for an omnipotent designer to have designed better.
I really hate the poor design argument. Are signal transduction pathways poorly designed? Is the ribosome poorly designed? Is the clathrin molecule poorly designed? What about motor proteins? How about the nuclear pore complex? What about ATP synthase? What about the DNA repair enzymes? What about the way that receptors relay a signal? If it were designed, the designer was unbelievably intelligent. [
And again, we are suffering DNA damage because of our lifestyles. Maybe the design wasn't intended to experience the environmental conditions we experience. If I smashed your laptop with a bat, you wouldn't complain that it was poorly designed.
Straw man much? Who (other than you) has argued DNA damage as evidence of bad design. How about your breathing tube and your eating tube sharing the same plumbing resulting in thousands of deaths every year? How about reproductive organs and wast elimination organs being right next to each other (women) or sharing the same pipe (men). The "design" sucks and the "designer" should be held accountable. All you'll ever do is make excuses.
