Disregarding the numerous more weighty, serious matters that indicate flaws within the ‘design’ claim. The laymen need only look to every-day occurrences that illuminate great missteps within the claim for a so-called designer. For instance…
Take sunburns. I recently acquired a mild sunburn, nothing major, but a sunburn none the less. A designer of the ‘intelligent’ brand that is often propped up by the anti-science, anti-evolution community, surely could have envisioned mankind spending a great deal of time outdoors in various types of climate. Yet, the human form is very ill-equipped to absorb many of the ‘elements’ without some form of environmental engineering/alteration. The homo-sapien left solely to natural defenses, ones purportedly imparted from an infinitely wise creator, quickly becomes subject to numerous afflictions and ailments.
Sure, humans have the intelligence that allows for an engineering of the surrounding enviroment, but what of this so-called ‘design’. An engineer, when developing technologies that may have direct consequence in regards to human life, will utilize back up systems and fail-safes. Unfortunately, a feature lacking within many species on this planet. Survival truely becomes a matter of, not what we are ‘designed’ for, but rather a matter of how quickly we might adapt and how universal our natural defenses might be in regards to different enviroments…
Just as a design concept someone once stated ‘The human body is a perfect example of what an ordinary engineer could design better then the Intelligent Designer has done. It is an excellent example of odd and pirated functions used by evolution to cobble something together.’ Its a paraphrase but it states an excellent example of how evolution works and the ID fails on the simplest level.
as I understand the Creation point of view –
a stance I always struggled to reconcile w/ my scientific/modern point of view. After much soul searching, reading, talking to people, I have reverted to the Classical Olympian gods I was fascinated by as a child.

Man was created for a purpose. Whatever design flaws a Perfect Omnipotent God surely would avoid, earthy scientists declare that is proof that the creation doctrine is false.
But what if God is dead, as they say, yet linger beings of almost infinite* power, not perfect, nor all powerfull, tho limitless. the god of El Shaddai, God on High, the limitless limit. hu.
The error of creation science is trying to use the tools of rationality to defend their belief. But the only rational defense of the holy is something inherent in nature. the entire concept of God On High is contradictory. “When is alice not alice anymore?”
“when she is alison.”
