Intelligent design? Really?

NILFs?

Oh, come off it. We're not perfect but we get by as any two estranged brothers would do. The human body is not infallible but it does it's job. We can be a very picky species.

Why is being picky a problem where it concerns our physical avatar in the only life we know we've got?

You, sir or madam, are a god/goddess. Clearly the atheists are all wrong.

Because it wounds her world view?

Jeeze, get off god's back.

I bet you're the same kind of uptight person that has an issue with this kind of job competency.



As long as we know what he meant we should be able to muddle through.

It's a problem because you only live this life once, and instead of picking fault with it, you should enjoy and relish it. I thought that much was obvious.

That'd be a much easier prospect without all the aches, pains, and fatalities that come along with the faults in our bodies, that an intelligent designer could easily have fixed. That's sort of the point.

Step out into your garden and look up. That tiny little dot in the distance is the point of this thread flying over your head.

We're not without fault that is correct. We're all imperfect. No system created is or I don't believe can be perfect. We're about right.

Meng, have you even read my op?
I agree that nothing is perfect, but some of these design flaws..... a 5 year old could design a better system. Don't you think that an all powerful, all knowing god could create a respiratory and digestive system that wouldn't result in thousands of people choking to death every year? And if he could, then why didn't he? The only conclusion I can think of is: he likes to see people die, which makes him evil. Or he can do nothing to stop it, which makes him impotent.
