Evolution "fails" AKA "where god seems to have got it wrong"
February 4, 2022 at 9:51 am
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!

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

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.
