If humans are created via intelligent design, why are we so flawed?
Question by Nice guy: If humans are created via intelligent design, why are we so flawed?
Supposedly humans are the crown of creation. However, if one compares humans with animals, the only component that sticks out is our brain. In all other aspects, our body is at best mediocre compared to animals. Our senses are not well developed and even if we train them we never get close to most animals. Our immune system is crap; animals are on average much healthier that we are and we even have doctors to keep certain trouble away from us. Our skeleton is not made for upright walking and brings us back pain and other trouble with great regularity. Even our brain is not well designed since we only use a fraction of it. Among humans, good design requires talent and experience and a deep understanding of the nature of the object to be designed. Supposedly God, if infinite, should have all of these traits without limits. However, if we humans are the product of intelligent design by a God, then it appears to me that the result is mediocre at best. Take the human eye. Often cited as evidence for intelligent design, even we humans have come up with artificial eyes that are far superior to the human eye. So if we supposedly are evidence for intelligent design, my respect for the designer has just dropped a notch. As I designer, I would try to use the best components for my design, and not just for one part of it, unless I have a restricted budget.

Q&A: If Humans Are Created Through Intelligent Design?
Question by I AM Troll: If Humans Are Created Through Intelligent Design?
Why are there so many stupid people?
I guess the same could be asked about natural selection.
Best answer:
Answer by Sophia M
In defense of natural selection,
there are intelligent people who choose not to learn or who choose not to go to school and hone their talents. If you don’t use your brain, you’ll lose it, simple as that.
My best friend in high school dropped out because she thought she could get into college at 16. She refused to study because she thought that everything would be easy, and of course she didn’t get into the college she wanted. She’s at a Junior College now, I believe, but I haven’t kept in contact with her.

Did God design humans to fail? How does a perfect creator create a flawed product?
Question by The Son of Man: Did God design humans to fail? How does a perfect creator create a flawed product?
A perfect creator would create a perfect product. Given the fact that we are flawed, what other conclusion is there than that the flaw was intentional?
If you’re going to drag in free will in answer to this question, try to at least build a semi-coherent argument around it.

Towelie: “they blew it.” > how is that perfect?

Answer by So-crates of R&S!!! (DelFuego)
Aha!! There is another explanation for a “perfect” Creator creating an imperfect creation.
HE ISNT PERFECT. Thus, isnt God.
Uh, Towlie – if Adam and Eve blew it, then they WERE NEVER PERFECT!

Why would a merciful God design humans to biologically be just another species of filthy animals?
Question by …: Why would a merciful God design humans to biologically be just another species of filthy animals?
Humans have always been sick and tired of being biologically similar to all those stupid beasts running around. If there really is a creator, then why couldn’t he have made us in a way that we could be classified in a dignified taxonomic kingdom of our own? Surely we deserve better than that.

And I thought we Christians got bashed for our notion of sin. At least we see hope and a creature made in God’s image.

How would I counter an argument about the failures of genetic engineering in humans?
Question by Somebody: How would I counter an argument about the failures of genetic engineering in humans?
I am doing a health debate for my health class, and I was assigned Pro genetic engineering in humans. I have all my information and refutes down, but I still do not know how I am going to counter when the other team brings up the failures of genetic engineering.
For example:
Other Team: You say that with genetic enginering, the whole world could be cured of disease. Considering that out of 238 human subjects, 34 had serious side effects afterwards, and only 4 subjects were deemed successful. If we were to branch off and focus more on genetic engineering, our population would significantly decrease with unsucessful tests like these.
What would I say to counter that?
Best answer:
Answer by Eric
Genetic engineering is still in early stages of study.
We are not even close to finished with research in this field, and given some time, we will have improved these tests.
We normally only run these tests on terminally ill patients, and these kinds of tests give subjects a chance at a better life, even if there is a chance of adverse side effects.
