Christianity EtcRe: Why Design Is Not A Plausible Theory For The Origin Of Our Existence by ooman(op):
Some other examples:

iBarely used nerves and muscles, such as the plantaris muscle of the foot, that are missing in part of the human population and are routinely harvested as spare parts if needed during operations. Another example is the muscles that move the ears, which some people can learn to control to a degree, but serve no purpose in any case.

iiThe common malformation of the human spinal column, leading to scoliosis, sciatica and congenital misalignment of the vertebrae.

iiiAlmost all animals and plants synthesize their own vitamin C, but humans cannot because the gene for this enzyme is defective (Pseudogene ΨGULO). Lack of vitamin C results in scurvy and eventually death. The gene is also non-functional in other primates and in guinea pigs, but is functional in most other animals.


ivFemale org.asm is usually produced only by the direct stimulation of the cli.toris. The cli.toris is not typically stimulated during se,x.ual intercourse.

Examples:

In humans

Several flaws in the human design frequently result in death, especially without modern medical care:

0In the human female, a fertilized egg can implant into the fallopian tube, cervix or ovary rather than the uterus causing an ectopic pregnancy. The existence of a cavity between the ovary and the fallopian tube could indicate a flawed design in the female reproductive system. Prior to modern surgery, ectopic pregnancy invariably caused the deaths of both mother and baby. Even in modern times, in almost all cases, the pregnancy must be aborted to save the life of the mother.

00In the human female, the birth canal passes through the pelvis. The prenatal skull will deform to a surprising extent. However, if the baby’s head is significantly larger than the pelvic opening, the baby cannot be born naturally. Prior to the development of modern surgery (caesarean section), such a complication would lead to the death of the mother, the baby or both. Other birthing complications such as breech birth are worsened by this position of the birth canal.

000The breathing reflex is stimulated not directly by the absence of oxygen but rather indirectly by the presence of carbon dioxide. A result is that, at high altitudes, oxygen deprivation can occur in unadapted individuals who do not consciously increase their breathing rate. Oxygenless asphyxiation in a pure-nitrogen atmosphere has been proposed as a humane method of execution that exploits this "oversight".
Christianity EtcWhy Design Is Not A Plausible Theory For The Origin Of Our Existence by ooman(op): 5:46pm On Oct 02, 2013
Why design is not a plausible theory for the origin of our existence, nor the reason for the compulsory existence of a god:

The dysteleological argument or argument from poor design is an argument against the existence of God, specifically against the existence of a creator God (in the sense of a God that directly created all species of life). It is based on the following chain of reasoning:

An omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent creator God would create organisms that have optimal design.
Organisms have features that are sub-optimal.
Therefore, God either did not create these organisms or is not omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent.


The argument is structured as a basic Modus tollens: if "creation" contains many defects, then design is not a plausible theory for the origin of our existence. It is most commonly used in a weaker way, however: not with the aim of disproving the existence of God, but rather as a reductio ad absurdum of the well-known argument from design, which runs as follows:

Living things are too well-designed to have originated by chance.
Therefore, life must have been created by an intelligent creator.
This creator is God.

"Poor design" is consistent with the predictions of the scientific theory of evolution by means of natural selection. This predicts that features that were evolved for certain uses, are then reused or co-opted for different uses, or abandoned altogether; and that suboptimal state is due to the inability of the hereditary mechanism to eliminate the particular vestiges of the evolutionary process.

In terms of a fitness landscape, natural selection will always push "up the hill", but a species cannot normally get from a lower peak to a higher peak without first going through a valley.

The argument from poor design is one of the arguments that was used by Charles Darwin; modern proponents have included Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Dawkins. They argue that such features can be explained as a consequence of the gradual, cumulative nature of the evolutionary process. Theistic evolutionists generally reject the argument from design, but do still maintain belief in the existence of God.

wirinet: All you wrote above is scientific mumbo jumbo.

Electromagnetic pulse is nothing more than a pulse of light - from cosmic radiattion down to gamma rays.

Heaven is a term used to descibe any place beyond the clouds. all other objects in the sky above the clouds are said to be in heaven.

Oxygen is actually harmful to life, and it was its absence at the early earth that permitted life to form. It is highly oxidative in nature and oxidizes most substances it comes in contact with. It reaction with living things creates free radicals which kills living cells. life had evolve to deal with free radicals. Increasing the oxygen content of the atmosphere would actually decrease the life span of living things.

Mars cannot support life because of so many reasons, its size and hence gravity is too small to retain oxygen and gaseous water. It surface cannot hold liquid water which is essential for life. its atmosphere is too thin and its surface temperature is too low.
true

Mintayo: i don't actually expect u to understand.
Yes God is ominpresent and omnipotent,but this does not mean He will force himself on people,i am sure u ppl will cry fowl if He does!

God is everywhere and He sees all things but He will not go where He is not wanted,He wants people to come to Him,yet He will not interfare unless we invite Him,unless we call upon Him-this is my point!
.
Most of the Bad things that happens,it is because we allowed them!
.
Which germs and viruses killed both godly and ungodly? How do germs kill both godly and ungodly?
your statements are contradictory,

if god is everywhere, then he is both where he is wanted and where not...

if god does not interfere, why burn down sodom and gomorrha for their sins?

if god does not force people on him, why threaten us with hell

xtians die of malaria and aids right? that's the germ he's talking about.

And just to tell you that you never stopped believing in myths, remember you believe in juju bullet prove? So pls, dont stain the freethinking community by calling yourself an atheist or agnostic.
Christianity EtcRe: I Renounce Atheism And Agnosticism!!! by ooman(m): 2:29pm On Sep 21, 2013
Even a mosquito might think it is favored anytime it could suck your blood without getting hit.

Because a few good things happened to you, you therefore think god exist? then you haven't been an atheist/agnostic or whatever you claim, you were just angry at your god because some bad things happened to you, and now that he's paid you some bribe, you are even again.

Logic and reason rules atheism, not a few good experiences, and logic and reason drive you into atheism, not some bad experiences.

You are not therefore missed in the atheistic community.

Goodbye, good riddance and enjoy your hallucinations and delusions.

#Another deluded fellow.
