In terms of a creator, ideal would mean that we are gloriously made, lacking nothing, and self sufficient without needs. That would also apply to the efficiency of what is made.
Then we are definatly not "ideal" as we have MANY flaws. Flaws of the type that is expected from a process like evolution. But not from "creation" by an "all powerful omnipotent perfect creator".
Examples of such flaws are:
- a mouth to small to house all teeth (wisdom teeth need to be pulled frequently due to this)
- a spine that isn't that fit for bipedalism, causing lower backpains in about 70% of humans
- all humans are, biologically seeing, born prematurely. women can't carry the "full" term anymore again due to bipedalism, which caused a narrowing of the hips to the point that birth has to happen sooner. This is why human newborns are so fragile and helpless.
- backward eyes (all the wiring is in front of the light sensitive cells and they need to cross the retina, creating a blind spot. the brain needs to spend additional resources / energy to try and "rectify" the image to produce the illusion of the blind spot not existing). Imagine a sony engineer designing a camera like that. He'ld be fired instantly.
- ... many more
We are FAR from "gloriously" or "ideally" made. We are instead merely "just good enough" to reach breeding age and reproduce. And before our technological society and modern medicine, our life expectency was indeed so low that we were usually dead by the time our children were aged 13 to 17 - ready to produce off spring of their own.
I infer that the trial and error of evolution is an adaptable program with on the fly intelligence behind it. No guiding hand.
You don't "infer" that. You "assert" that. And you do it blindly, without a shred of evidence.
