Neither, I stated earlier that I was trying to keep the fall and sin out of this conversation, why are you avoiding showing a better design.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Earlier on in this thread...

Quote:None of those existed in the creation before the fall, God said of the creation, "it is good," He would not have said that if anything was wrong. Again you are unable to give me a better design, you brought up the argument, man up little boy and defend it with facts, I've defended my side with facts.

Good job.

After all, insects, certain spiders and some types of fish breathe through holes in their skins or exoskeletons. Or what about photosynthesis, as in most plants and algae? Converting sunlight into chemical energy would remove the dangerous chewing and swallowing part from the equation altogether. Why should humans end up being fobbed off with a "design" that is potentially lethal to us?

Apparently the one he chose was the one that pleased the creator. Just as an artist paints a picture to please himself, not others. You breath through a hole in your skin and skeleton, some insect larva breath through there butt end, you what to be a butt sniffer. If you desire to be a plant then bury your feet in the ground and stand there, you do know without the root system plants would not be able to survive no matter how much sun they get.

Stimbo Wrote:Don't bother, because you haven't thought of one yet. Do you seriously, genuinely believe that humans would design clothing to fit the human body shape as it currently stands, in the event that human bodies were "designed" to a completelu different body plan? We would certainly have accomodated our breathing aperture, wherever it might be located, into the design of our clothing and other areas of oir lives. After all, how many items of clothing do you own that don't take your mouth and nose into consideration?

I have hats and ear muffs, shoes and socks, pants and shirts none have needed to consider my nose or mouth. Seems our intakes for air and food are in the right place.

Cornered and I'll bring it up.

@ Stimbo, BWS and MS, I'm enjoying your epic fail, why want you actually act like adults and propose a better system and an explanation of how it works better, or just be quite and stop showing your stupidity it's unbecoming, though it fits you three perfectly.
I said I've tried not to bring the fall and sin into this conversation, but when you want to add things outside the system I will bring it up, if you could concentrate and stay on subject and actually a better design I would not have to waste time with you... and I'm not if you can't be anything but childish and not propose a better design then we're finished.

GC, you obviously need to go make your own message board where the people there will have to adhere to your own rules of debate. I just wonder how they're going to learn these rules if there is no evident coherency to them, but good luck anyway.

So you would say that those who can't already explain everything and know it are the stupid, but if you shout loudly enough that you have the answer (whether you have any evidence for it or not) then you're a genius. Thinking

I'm not sure it works that way.

Why should we have to come up with a better system for breathing and eating? We were merely pointing out where we thought the design was flawed. Are you honestley asking us to design a better system within a few hours of talking about it? If you are, you are being ridiculous and you know it. I don't know why you are taking this tone with us. Its obviously a subject that touches a nerve for you but there is no need to be so rude about disagreeing with us.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Good, because you won't be getting it.

A good design, by whose standards? The human body is riddled with problems. 1-3 % of all babies ever born will have deformities requiring medical interventions. We're not even counting handicaps that show up later in life. We're not even counting miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies yet. The system is highly flawed. You seem to think that we can't do any better than god did? yea, but why are you limiting god's abilities to our level? we're humans.

I have only addressed the topic of breathing and swallowing and have shown that there are greater benefits to the design than flaws, I've purposely stayed away from the original created persons and the sin that followed so we would not get distracted. You don't like the fact that the design benefits man with much greater purpose, you want to beat on one thing instead of looking at the whole. And you all want to through up science to me, use it yourself, please.

By the way if we breathed through our elbow, wearing long sleeves would be a smothering experience, swimming would be an difficult activity. Breaking ones's arm would make it difficult to put a cast on, and believe me snotty sleeves would be nasty, unless your a kid forever.

And badwritersparty is correct, the throat and windpipe are pretty inconvenient features.

You're just afraid to address the argument you brought to the table, childish at least ignorant is most likely.

Your argument is ignorant. The evolved system we have is a makeshift, jerry-rigged one. Separate breathing and eating systems would not pose the the chocking problem and each could be more effeicient.

But it wasn't designed. It evolved.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Evolution is a proven fact, which disproves the creation passages in the Holy Bible. Paleontologists and scientists have proven that God did not create man in one fell swoop (or over the course of six days), we are descended with modification from Homo Sapiens. I explained all of this to you in the original post.
