I don't make any claims to omnipotence or omniscience. God, or at least the standard definition of God, does. Yet there are still a myriad of examples throughout nature of suboptimal design, something easily explained by evolution but not by creationism.

For example, why did God decide to install the retina backwards in humans(and the vast majority of other animals as well? It creates a blind spot, and makes human eyes prone to detached retinas. Squids and octopuses, however, have their retinas in the right way. And I don't think it's because cephalopods are God's favorite creation.
