    God is only as intelligent as the humans who invented him – obviously, not that bright.

    I like what Neil has to say: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1cKD93W3yg

    Who told you your appendix was a mistake?

    You have to be pretty arrogant to pretend that you know everything about your body, to the point where you can make that determination.

    maybe this is the beta version.

  5. Exodus 20:1-17 says:

    No mistakes. Sin has a funny way of distorting this world physically and spiritually.

    GOD bless

  6. Sam G says:

    Evolution sometimes causes bad things that are not bad enough to make us die or not make babies.

    because if god is real he must be that drunkard that always goes to partys

    the devil done did it!

  9. quarble says:

    Since Liberal Asskicker doesn’t accept the vestigial nature of the appendix, he is not allowed to have his removed, no matter how inflamed it might get.
    I think its just.

    Why are our eyes built upside and backwards with a blind spot? How come with have “junk” DNA?”

    There’s a lot of stuff in us that would not have been done by a designer. “This would be the kind of stuff that you’d expect from an office temp. with a bad attitude.”

    @ Exodus 20:1-17: Of course there are “mistakes” in us. They’re called mutations. Some can be advantageous and others can be quite harmful, even deadly.

    @ CP: It’s disgusting how you label homosexuals as a mistake. And as for you scientific backing of the Bible stories, citation needed.

    God’s designs became more intelligent as evolution went by. God went through a learning curve on how to create life just as human knowledge advances over time.

  12. Flagators says:

    To answer your last question, yes he did. why? i have no clue.

    None of us will ever be able to understand the reasons God does things, but he always has a perfect reason. God works in ways that lead to what he wants to happen, not necessarily for us to know what his plans are.

    So to answer your main question, i do not know. You should pray about it and maybe God will give you the insight ur looking for

    therabouts in the beginning, there was adam. he was lonely (even though he had a lot of friendly animals amongst him) so God made him Eve. she was tempted by a snake into eating a fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil and then seduced adam into eating it himself. ever since then there was sin in this world and all the imperfections that you described took off into existance

  14. Venyx says:

    I like your argument and I don’t believe in intelligent design, but I must say:

    the Appendix is where good bacteria is stored. They just found that out a couple years ago.

  15. CP says:

    If evolution is so great, why all the disease, why gay people (isn’t that anti-evolution).

    Shouldn’t we ALL be the strongest and best?

    To answer your question, to prove God’s glory. The story of Moses is historically accurate. The Israelites were slaves, released by Pharaoh, documented in history. Moses wasn’t able to speak well (stuttering problem), however God used him to speak to Pharaoh.

    You see, God is not bound by our weaknesses. In fact, our weaknesses prove his power and ability to use us despite it.

    But judging by the demeanor of your question, I don’t think you’ll get it. Sounds like you are just trying to make a loaded question.

  16. Megan says:

    The world is perfect. The mathematical perfection… its inhuman. Its created by something bigger than us.

    Why do some of us need glasses? because… humans fell. Adam and Eve screwed up. Since then… women have pain in childbirth. There are mentally and physically disabled people. And some of us need glasses.

    appendix? extinct species? Its called evolution. yes evolution happened. But it happened under God’s watchful eye. Maybe at some point, humans needed their appendix. There are even parts in a cell that have no known function.

    the good Lord gives us mountains so we can learn how to climb..

  18. Nowpower says:

    And what’s he so mad about?

    It is what it is.

  19. Mike says:

    God works in mysterious ways…

    Pray on it….

    Read the bible – the book that contains all the answers to every single question that can be posed…

    But whatever you do, DON’T doubt God – or else you will go to hell. It’s better to come up with a half-assed, illogical answer and then distract yourself to another matter ASAP.

  20. aaronmsl says:

    Actually, your appendix probably does have some use. Recent research has found it does – or should do, but often doesn’t or does badly – something with gut bacteria after an infection.

    Anyway, the point is there are plenty of better examples of bad design – panda’s thumbs, flounders heads, the eye etc. Nature is full of dodgy design, but it can be easily explained away by a quick “how do you know its bad”, or the ever faithful “god works in mysterious ways (or variation)”.

    Still, the old argument from bad design is a good ‘un.

  21. Anthony says:

    bible say, GOD made all things perfect

    Then humans had to decide, it’s a choice so what did adam and eve do?
    they took the wrong side, they wanted to be smart in there own human thinking, not by GOD, so GOD hide all he has from them, it was WISDOM. Without God this is what you see today! now the choice it active yet, you become more spirit wise, or stay in human error thinking!

  22. boogers says:

    i don’t know about you but i see no mistakes
    everything happens for a reason
    whether we see the reason or not
    everyone can’t be perfect cuz then we wouldn’t learn
    i think some people have to face more difficult challenges because its meant for them to learn and grow from it
