Everything that has ever been observed in nature has been great at what it does, including the trachea/esophagus setup. I do not concede that life has aspects of poor design, it is clearly done well.
If the trachea/esophagus is such a problem, then why haven't the two tubes diverged into two separate ones through evolution? If evolution can't do that, then how on earth do you want me to believe it is responsible for the cellular features?
And now you're just being silly. You obviously neither understand nor accept evolution.
I wonder if I may ask you a religious question. Is the idea of "god" tied up with His creative function for you? Or are you in it for the objective morals and/or afterlife plan? Also, how can your ideas of what God is be so precise?
How do I not understand evolution? Is it not capable of replacing an inefficient structure with an efficient one?
Why do I believe that the designer is the Christian God? There are a few reasons. One of the main reasons is that Jesus's resurrection is the only acceptable explanation for the explosion of the early Christian church as many people were reported to have seen him alive afterword. Mass hallucinations and other explanations don't hold up. Also, I have been writing an extensive philosophy paper on the purpose of life and redefining the concept of the common good. I reached a conclusion. I realized after I had come up with that idea that it coincided perfectly with the Christian message.
And I hate the idea of an afterlife as much as you, but that doesn't change the fact that I think it is true.
