The Argument From Design

[MinusGod]

The fact that we eat and breath out of the same tube so we can potentially choke to death. Hey, thank God we invented the Heimlich maneuver though. No really, thanks a lot God.

I pointed out one potential problem with the pharynx. An inescapable fact that we can choke to death while eating. No matter how many useful aspects of the pharynx the article lists this one problem still remains. The question is could the human body in any way have been designed better? If so why didn't your God do this when he is capable of this?

I really don't even like these kind of arguments against God personally because they seem to be too subjective. What even denotes "intelligent design"? Where is the line? Maybe your god wanted us to have the possibility of choking to death. Given the idea of an afterlife we had to at least be designed incapable of living this life forever. That is, capable of dying. How optimal for living are we supposed to have been created?

Either way, if you believe that we were designed as is then you are ignoring a massive body of evidence showing that we and all other life evolved from common ancestry. Instead you've taken on a massive burden of trying to reconcile what we've learned through science with your dated beliefs by coming up with ad hoc rationalizations so that they fit what you've already concluded. Better you then me. Good luck.
