Evolution "fails" AKA "where god seems to have got it wrong"

[Duty]

The example of the blood vessels for mammals being on the obstructive side of the cornea (as opposed to say, a squid's eye) is often given, but I was struck with a far more obvious example recently and reckon there must be dozens if not hundreds/thousands of others which highlight the "divine immaculate design" hypothesis fail, therefore thread.

Here's a start then - the combination of the respiration and food/drink ingestion tract. Choking? Death death death death etc...why weren't humans given a blow hole like a whale? Because evolution is blind, of course. 

Any more for any more?

You complain about how the human body was designed, yet still willingly inhabit a human body. Interesting.

Is it opposite day again, Ahriman? Because there's nothing remotely interesting about preferring to be alive without a blowhole to preferring to be dead without a blowhole.

The human body was not designed, it is evolved, therefore "errors," that's the thrust of this thread. How you missed that...ah yes, I remember now, you're that contrary/troll poster right? Nice to be reacquainted.

It's not intelegent design, it's stupid design, and 1st year engineering student could come up with a better system!

Ectopic pregnancy. It would seem that if nature was designed by a perfect Being, ensuring that a fertilized ovum would not lodge anywhere but the uterus would be a minor tweak.

Design...design...design is missing in evolution, there is no "design" as, by my mind, "design" requires the "agency" of a designer. OK?

Good point. I’ve had more than one person tell me that ‘The Argument From Suboptimal Design’ is self-refuting because it includes the word ‘design.’

Which tells me they don’t understand the argument.

Ahriman thrives on the delusion that he is making stupidity cool again.

In your world do you have a choice?
