And yes he has in fact argued that .
It wasn't very well designed before the fall either, long before Adam and Eve were in the picture, whole species were being wiped out due to a combination of volcanic eruptions and meteor strikes. Though i do suspect water did fit properly in puddles throughout this process.
Given what we know about the formation of planets I think it's silly to believe they were intelligently created. And we cannot even imagine a time when the rest of the universe was less than hostile to human life.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
