• Imperfection is the mark of evolution, not of conscious design. We should then be able to find cases of imperfect adaptation, in which evolution has not been able to achieve the same degree of optimality as would a creator.
This is entirely subjective and absurd. I thought we were talking about science not theology. First of all, nearly all of these crazy suggestions that the design we see is flawed has been shown to be foolish. How many until this is dumb to continue? Secondly, how about looking at all of the designs that are clearly miraculous? You don't think the human brain is kind of impressive? You want to talk about how the appendix isn't useful (when it is) or the whale has a random hip for no reason (used for mating). Give it up people.
