Intelligent Design?
The human body is riddled with design mistakes. Examples include the deadly birth canal, the unforgiving prostate, the exploding appendix, the fragile spine (America's #1 cause of disability), the idiotic crossing of airway and esophagus (that causes history's greatest killer--pneumonia), and our useless male breasts whose only claim to fame is cancer.
Given all the mistakes in human design, how can the doctrine of “Intelligent Design” have merit?

(Turns into a fundamentalist)
But god didn't make those mistakes! It's our sin that makes us suck! (Returns) Good point, I'm curious of the response. Wern't we made in god's image as well? He must not be doing so well either (maybe 'the cancer' got him a LOONNNNGGGG time ago).

Don't forget the blindspot in our eye that squids don't have and males having nipples.

This is a fabulous point, pah. Our only "redeeming" feature is our intelligence, yet it seems to me that the only thing that ever did was give us the capacity to sin in new and creative ways. That's one messed up situation right there. Maybe god doesnt want to be loved....

interesting site anders... definitely some good points being raised...
"Our only "redeeming" feature is our intelligence, yet it seems to me that the only thing that ever did was give us the capacity to sin in new and creative ways. That's one messed up situation right there. Maybe god doesnt want to be loved...." there is a "purposeful" reason for giving us free will though... but that's another thread!

Hmm...y'know though, intelligence is a redeeming feature and all, but I personally am rather fond of thumbs as well. *twiddles thumbs* I mean, could you have the world twiddle without having thumbs? I think not!
Still, 'tis an interesting point. Although I don't think the whole "image of God" business means actually looking like God.
