I doubt these images, as horrible as they are, really shake anyone's beliefs in God or Intelligent Design. These cases you show are exceptions, not the rule.

All I can say is that if this is the best you can do it is pretty sad.

The issues not that they are exceptions, but that they exist at all. Mild genetic (birth) defects such as near-sightedness are extremely common. If we are meant to see, why are so many of us born with the defect?

We need teeth to eat, and yet our teeth are poorly designed and rot easily. Why?

We would all have to be very smart (smarter than any human) to know why these diseases exist.

Maybe it has something to do with the flesh being less important and the soul being more important?

Yes, the soul suffers the pain of the body. But when that connection is gone, so is the pain.

Does Intelligent Design theory demand that every creation be perfect? Certainly, an impersonal IDesigner would be permitted a plus or minus!

If the Designer is the God of the Bible, the tragedy in this world is due to the fall.

Easy for you to say.
