I'm actually with fr0d0 on this one. Just what do you mean "Very weak and poorly designed"...? Some aspects of our designs could have been "better" in some circumstances... but why would these necessarily be the circumstances that 'God' created us for...
Further why couldn't he have accomplished his goals via what we call "evolution"?
Hello there!
If you observe the human body, it isn't that well designed. We are so easily damages by the environment. Whether it is trees or UV rays ... we have limited senses (and those senses are also limited) ... our organs are susceptible to failure and thousands of thousands of us die from microbes etc ...
The human body is still in the process of evolving.

Evidence capable of combating the former is not possible. Evidence to support the former is not possible. It would totally ruin the point of needing faith if conclusive evidence (see: scientific proof) could be found regarding 'God'
I agree that the whole essence of faith is an absence of evidence, but surely the existence of anything (it doesn't have to be God) should be subject to the normal procedures we place on everything else. That is to say, empirical evidence.
