You do know there is no way in hell we were intelligently designed.

    Yet we're intelligent, and our body alone is complex.

  • No, we are not intelligently designed. I can think of a million reasons why I would have eyes on the sides of my head, and not my front. It would give me a much more expansive view, as well as give me an advantage over predators. Also, my ears would be on the front and back of my head, so I can hear in 360. My nose should be on my chest so I could smell things closer to me. And why is my food tube also my air tube? That's a serious choking hazard. I mean, look at people who are morbidly obese. Why on earth would a god give them a body, so that when they ate too much food, they would start to die from their own body weight? Why is my right leg slightly shorter than my left leg? That isn't intelligent design.

  • Frankly, I really do like my body parts where they are, and I wouldn't want them in any other location.

  • It doesn't matter when it comes to opinion, it matters on what is most useful and efficient. If you had one-eye, tubes connected to your fingers that you eat from, and holes in the back of your neck you breathe from, you'd still say you were perfectly designed.

  • Doubt it: I am me. Besides, that's based off of your opinion too, and we can't depend on the contradictory or the paradoxical because it borders fictional.

  • It isn't opinion, it's efficiancy.

  • I'm glad you agree that are humanoid form is efficient.

  • Our human form is not efficient. Either you're not understanding what I am saying, or you're bending my words.

  • Do you realize how complicated your design of a preferred human body is? We would have to swim with our backs toward the ocean floor forever. Frankly, your description of that desired human form is very disgusting.

    You know that this is more of support for Creationism than evolution..? The reason for all those according to evolution is that as we became more predatorial, we evolved so we could focus more of our senses on the front to hunt more effectively. (Obviously this wasn't a choice, but mutations that worked for us.) This obviously only covers the first half of your argument but still...

  • What have you concluded about evolution then?

  • I personally believe it's a very sounds theory but I'm a 'young-universe' believer so I personally don't accept it.

  • The reason why we haven't developed those efficient attributes is because we come from a common ancestor whose traits we still have. Until humans mutate to become more efficient, then we shall continue to have our less efficient attributes. Also, evolution happens over the course of millions and millions of years. Humans have only been around for a few thousand years, but we are still evolving, just at a slow, slow pace. One example of evolutionary attributes we can see is pruny fingers, which allow us to better grip things.

  • Oh, I didn't realize that human hands have a tendency to act as butter fingers. I may need to go put on my Spider-Man gloves. XD

  • Our hands get sweaty, greasy, and can slip. We don't have 'butter-fingers', but you at least need to accept that we are not perfect.

    In what area of my body needs to be different in order for me to consider it to be perfect? Mostly throughout the day my hands are dry, which is aggravating when I have to always write. I suppose that's why lotion was invented. [spoiler]If only my body had a process to make my hands greasy...[/spoiler]

  • This is not about dryness, this is about grip. We have sweat to make our hands less agitated, but that doesn't mean we're perfectly designed. If you swear, your hands slip. That is why our bodies are evolving to better grip things.
