I have made this case many times. The imperfection of biology suggests evolution, rather than ID/Creationism. In fact, the complexity of biological processes that is the main pillar of ID, is really an argument AGAINST ID.

A supernatural being/God doesn’t have to create through complexity. It/He is not subject to the laws of nature. Nature, on the other hand, must obey the laws of physics.

So at some point in the past mammals had internal testicles and through natural Selection they slowly moved to an exterior position for no particular reason. Or did, by some fluke, some early primate just wake up with a pair hanging down and the resulting reproductive advantage led to the human race.

This reminds me of the theory that wings evolved because of the natural advantage that flight gave birds. However, unless one generation of birds emerged with fully functional wings, those many many generations with partially formed non functional wings would have been at a serious disadvantage, and yet we have birds all over the place.

The presence of hiccups no more disproves the existence of God than does the existence of liberals or other religious bigots.

“The imperfection of biology suggests ...”

Spotting “imperfections” would require an understanding of Creation that no man can posess.

“A supernatural being/God doesn’t have to create through complexity.”

“Complexity” is a reletive term. Anyone who can understand all of Creation may not regard it as bing all that complex.

god created us in his image... flatulence was a way for man to amuse himself before he learned how to make gameboys... evidence in the painting of god having his finger pulled by adam...

as for hernias... i am doing extensive research compiling lots of taxpayers money which shows that men suffer more hernias than women because they lift heavier things...

as for hiccups... again... god thinks of everything... how else could an ignorant man know when he has had too much to drink...
