With a blog name like kansas, I feel it is my right and obligation to launch the Movement to Mock Intelligent Design. I’ll kick it off, then you can add your own examples of Not-So-Brilliant-Design:
- Pandas have 6-ounce babies. A friend of mine just gave birth to almost 13 pounds of twins. Intelligent design, yeah, right.
- Humans walk upright on spines not properly designed for it. Real smart.
- Two words: Emperor Penguins. Have you SEEN that movie? Sadistic Design is more accurate.
- “In human males, the urethra passes right through the prostate gland, a gland very prone to infection and subsequent enlargement. . any moron with half a brain (or less) could design male “plumbing” better.” LINK:
- Dachshunds.
- Oh,and while you’re at it, how about asking a male black widow spider how intelligent he thinks the design of his species is? Supposedly it’s the exception rather than the rule for the female to kill and eat her mate, but that exception probably seems a rather important flaw in the design for him. Sorry, Charlie.
- And speaking of mating, how about a human reproductive cycle that lets women give birth for upwards of thirty years to as many babies as she can pop out? Earth: Round Hole. Human Reproduction: Square Peg.
Those few ought to get you started. What’s the Dumbest Design YOU can think of? And Windows security system doesn’t count.
