I'd settle for perfectly human, or if your prefer, humanely imperfect. The only thing we know for sure that is conscious in our way is humans. So whether we're perfect in the way some people imagine it, we're pretty special in being self aware, sapient, masters of symbolic language and all the rest. What is this obsession with perfection?
I don't worry about "perfection". I strongly suspect that word, like "nothing" and "supernatural" will turnout to have no referent. We don't actually have any examples of anything perfect in the sense you find us lacking. We don't know if it is possible or exists. But we exist and we know perfectly well that that is so. Perhaps we are the standard, the only standard for perfection. If I'm wrong, produce the specimen which exceeds us so that I can see for myself.

Really, fr0d0, who are you or anyone else to question our adequacy as a species? If you believe an infallible being created us, how do you square that? Built in obsolescence?
