News If Intelligent Design is exactly that, what's with all the design flaws?

The discussion centers on the concept of Intelligent Design (ID) and the perceived flaws in human anatomy, particularly the design of testicles and the implications of these flaws on the nature of a supposedly all-knowing creator. Participants humorously critique the design of human bodies, suggesting that if these are the best creations of an omnipotent being, it raises questions about that being's perfection. Some argue that imperfections in human design could be attributed to the biblical notion of original sin, which they claim explains human flaws as inherited rather than designed. Others point out that the existence of design flaws does not necessarily disprove ID, as it could imply a testing phase for humanity. The conversation reflects a blend of humor, skepticism, and theological debate regarding the implications of design in nature.

Jimmie,


ComputerGeek,


Funny, I didn't say anything about intellect...ComputerGeek. Jimmie, No one perceives the 'entire' universe unless you believe in an infinite personality.

I just asked a few questions that all. The question after the 'if' statement "...whats with all the design flaws" presumes there to be some volitional 'Architect'. But it seems to focus in on only a specific set - the set of elements classified as man. So, I figured I'd ask something like "Is the current expansion of the universe a flaw?". Maybe, it is still expanding so that there will be enough room for an infinite number of beings.

If the multi-verse theory is correct, then our existence is inevitable no matter how imporbable.

I agree ComputerGeek. It's also fascinating that there could be a universe where Superman is real along with any or all other comic book heros and villains, where realities like those portrayed in books by Koonz, S. King, Terry Pratchett, ect. exist. < brrrrrrrrr > I would want to be alive in a place like the universe of H.P. Lovecraft.

That's another reason why "young earth" creationists" are to be ignored.

I don't know. I can see how their version of events is sexier, and it comes complete with a whole bunch of other religious stuff.

They picked that date based on the Bible. It's meaningless.

I don't see how its any more meaningless to the average joe than ~3 billion.

What does any of this have to do with ID?

This is an aside on Orefa's point about how "the past is all we have to understand the present." My point is who cares about the past that far distant besides, well, people who study it? I like clam chowder, I don't expect everybody else to share my taste.
