If I'm getting the drift from the Witch Doctors correctly, the flagellum, that poster child of Design, should not be attributed to God. To do so is "disgusting."

I'll never get anywhere in Theology.

Platypus yes; flagellum no. What's so difficult about that?

If not God, then who? Does Satan have the necessary level of omniscience to tap into the ecosystem and create hundreds of millions of separate, distinct kinds of organisms, all perfectly tuned to the preditor/prey, parasite/host relationship? Inquiring minds want to know just how one goes about designing living things.

Isa 45:5 I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Isa 45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that [there is] none beside me. I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else.
Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
Isa 45:8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
Isa 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! [Let] the potsherd [strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
