Intelligent design? Really?

Intelligent design (as most of us know) is just a front for creationism, but when you check reality, it becomes very clear that some things aren't intelligently designed at all. We can't prove they weren't designed by a magical sky daddy, but we can damn well prove that the sky daddy was a fucking moron.
For instance, exhibit A:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrent_laryngeal_nerve
The laryngeal nerve, starts at the brain, goes all the way down and loops around the heart and then goes all the way back up to the larynx. And all it does, is control the larynx. Does that look intelligently designed to you? It looks stupidly designed to me, if your god really does exist, he is very inept in the inner workings of large organisms. If a contractor installing electrical wiring, looped the wire around my house 6 times, only to provide power to my TV, I wouldn't be very impressed.
How about this:

The appendix. What kind of dumbass makes an organ, that we don't use? What kind of mentally retarded god, makes a useless organ that has been known, on occasion, to blow up and kill the person?
And how about our mouths. How stupid does someone have to be to design a respiratory system and digestive system and give them the same hole to work out of? Why could this all powerful, all knowing god, create a system in which it would be impossible for me to choke on a sweet?
In conclusion, due to the vast amount of evidence against intelligent design, and indeed creationism, I think I am being reasonable when I conclude that anyone who believes we are designed, is a dolt who needs to be thrown back into school and re-educated.

'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

The spine is much better designed for a body to hang from it like trousers from a hanger than it is to be a weight bearing column.
