The Argument From Design

[MinusGod]

I pointed out one potential problem with the pharynx. An inescapable fact that we can choke to death while eating.

Which is an extremely rare event. And not only this, but almost all choking is mainly due to human irresponsibility. Given this, one cannot put the guilt on the system.

You are also right. Even though there are numerous benefits, the problem still remains. But I say that it doesn't matter much, since the benefits far outweight the inconveniences.

I wonder if the irresponsibility that leads us to choke to death was also part of our intelligent design. Food for thought. Just don't choke on it.
