The issue wasn't why 1 in 13 have feet. Obviously most people have those. The question is why do 1 in 13 have apelike feet specifically if evolution (say from an earlier ape ancestor) doesn't occur? But let me add a few others. Why would a god create a situation where 1 in 13 have apelike feet? Also, why do you assume that 1 in 13 having apelike feet is evidence that one, and ONLY one god was at work? Why not one god to create the sinew, one to create the bones, one to create the muscles, one to create the vascular system, one to create the nervous system, etc, etc, etc? We create things in assembly line fashion. And since we are(allegedly) created in his image, why wouldn't there be a similar god assembly line? And finally, you appear to like making unsupported claims. What is the evidence that a god created 1 in 13 people with apelike feet, and what it is the evidence that ONLY one did so? For that matter, what it the evidence that such a situation didn't simply arise out of the pressures of natural selection? And finally, if we are created in god's image, why would a god create so many people who are so intellectually stymied with regard to how the physical universe works? I don't just want logic. I want tangible evidence. Got anything like that?

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
