From an engineering point of view we are beyond marvelous.

Says you. Yet another variation of the now famous, "That puddle has the perfect amount of water in it!" way of thinking. "Beyond marvelous" according to what criteria? Methinks HIV is "beyond marvelous" for its niche. Methinks starfish are "beyond marvelous" for their niche. Vultures, bunny rabbits, and palm trees are, you guessed it, "beyond marvelous" too. I hardly think we'd be too marvelous if we had to live underwater or in a tree or cave. Thats called biology, perhaps you should try learning about it someday.

Our vertebra is not "marvelous" for our way of locomotion. Our eyes are hardly marvelous in today's world. My appendix and wisdom teeth as well as my African friends sickle cell anemia is hardly marvelous. I could go on, but you'd miss the point anyway.

You probably won't acknowledge the idea that sin has entered into the world and reaped corruption on the perfect creation. But there are many people who haven't considered how well this fact fits into our reality.

So I respond not to you with this answer but to other believers that may have some confusion on this point.
We are still marvelous, but we are not in glorified bodies presently.
