I am not a theist.
Against my better judgement...
The left recurrent laryngeal nerve. It travels all the way down the neck, into the chest cavity, around the aorta and back to the larynx. I humans, not so much of a design flaw. In giraffes (yes, same stupid flaw there)...
The shared opening of the trachea and esophagus, resulting in thousands of choking deaths and aspiration pneumonia cases every year.
The proximity of our reproductive system and waste elimination systems (often jokingly referred to a putting the recreation facility in the middle of a waste treatment facility) which leads to thousands of unnecessary infections, some life threatening.
Susceptibility to all manner of diseases, many of them deadly.
Allergies to the very foods we eat and (natural impurities in) the very air we breath
The inability of our eyes to perceive a number of threats, including UV, even though the lowly honey bee can.
And that's just within the human species, off the top of my head.
In the wider world...
The reliance on the the brutality of the food chain to provide sustenance to nearly all animals.
The two most common waste gasses of all animals (CO2 and methane) being greenhouse gasses.
Radiation from the the one thing making life on this planet possible, also being the cause of various cancers.
Billions of tons of rock and ice that can easily be perturbed out of their stable orbits to become weapons of mass destruction on a scale humans can't even begin to conceive of creating.
Again, off the top of my head, and I'm certain there are many, many more that could be provided by others.
If there is an ultimate designer of life, the universe and everything else, it is an incompetent boob.
