We evolved into this world, so of course it's beautiful. If there were Venusians, they would think their hot rocks and poisonous atmosphere beautiful.

(4,549 posts)Our rods and cones are on the wrong side of the retina and we have a fixed focal distance between the lens and retina. This means that our rods and cones have to be see-through and we have to distort the lens to focus, wearing it our over time. Squids have rods and cones on the correct side of the retina and change the focal distance between the lens and retina to focus rather than distorting the lens. What the fuck? Why did the squids get the good eyes? Does God know what a pain in the ass bifocals are? Why don't my teeth heal or just regrow? Did God invent dental insurance, too? Or are the dentists His chosen people? Apparently He's somewhat fond of physicians, too, because the appendix's only function is as a cash cow to the medical profession. I'm not too fond of what He's done with the knees and the lower back, either. Yeesh.

And while we're at it.... why does my urethra go thru my prostate gland? (I can't even begin to get into what women have to put up with)
Who designs like that? If I had 3 and a half billion years, I think even I could come up with some better specs.

(28,017 posts)If their theory that the universe is far older than 7000 years, and that evolution exists, their whole fairy tale begins to collapse, starting with the so-called inerrancy of their two part collection.

(4,549 posts)...of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

* nature consisted of an infinite number of particles
* nature was always in a thermodynamic equilibrium
