But you would have thought God would've come up with a better design for such things as the back (an injury-prone compromise between the horizontal spine of other animals and one geared for an efficient upright stance) or for the eye (where the optic nerve blocks part of our field of vision).

Why limit the complaint to the back and the eye? Virtually every part of the human body can and does develop problems. Many parts of the body are grossly inefficient. Look at the kidney. Arguably, the closest the body ever comes to physiological perfection is at age 12, and even then it has so many vulnerabilities. Of course, the worst thing of all about the body is that it is mortal, and that's what I believe all these other complaints come down to. Nobody who has ever lived has been capable of designing anything as complex, resilient, long-lasting and versatile as the human body -- and yet we all consider ourselves sufficiently expert at design to critique it. Armchair quarterbacking is apparently another built-in feature of homo sapiens.

The arrogance of evolutionists thinking they know better than God! You folk cannot even give proof of your stupid theory and yet presume to know more than God.
