I cannot make any claim to have personally cut into humans, except maybe once or twice by accident with improperly blunt tools, but nevertheless I think I still do know enough of human anatomy (and comparative anatomy of animals) to be disarmed of even the remotest possibility to dispute your argument. There is much room for improvement.

You're in the right position to write such a book. I don't think I ever saw a book that had more than a few examples in it as illustration for the argument. I don't know if it is exactly a focal point in the debate. I mean it looks like ID advocates are ignoring it and some less intelligent creationists claim that flawed design isn't an argument against design, implying - but not explicitly stating - that God could terribly suck at it. I mean some of it is just so clumsy as to defy any sort of intelligence involved.

Makes me think about what is the point of wisdom teeth if they usually end up being pulled because there is no room in the mouth for them. Also how intelligent is it to create a human being that is homosexual. It has been shown that it is not a choice issue but a brain wiring and chemistry issue. What sadistic being would intentionally make a being with such an internal conflict.  These are just a few things that come to mind at this moment. 

 

Keep up the good work Andrew and may you find the inspiration on what I feel to be a more than worthy task.

I've only finished writing one book but I'm close to finishing a second. When things get slow, I find it useful to just hammer out a page or two at a time even if I think it's drivel - sometimes I hit upon an idea I would like to expand on and other times I realize I've struck a new angle. Anyway, I'm just throwing it out there in case it helps you get moving on the book again - I would love to read it.

This might not be completely relevent to what you are writing about, the woman in this video talks about how if life were designed by a god, than that god really screwed up, or just a straight-up douchebag. I think she makes some very interesting points.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op0kJ0N0p0M
