Why do so many people have flawed eyes and must wear glasses to see? Why are human back so weak for bipedal walking so they get pains in the back? Not to mention hemorrhoids for the same reasons. Why are testicles in humans outside and therefore uncomfortable and vulnerable? Not the evidence of intelligent designer.
Whales live in the water and breathe air. Not exactly intelligent is it.
That is what theists seem to be doing all the time: making a big dance around actual questions. It is very easy to disprove intelligent design, so they just go around and around, talk about machines on the dark side of the Moon and whatnot, but it still makes no sense.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
