1 Are they really gills.
2 You said it "defect"
3 The Egyptians thought the brain was usless. We don't know what the appendix does.
4 Cancer is DEvolution
5 Less blood to the skin decreases the amount of heat lost.
6 The biblical fall coupled with devolution could cause this.
7 God thought about appearances when he made us. Imagine your foot without the little toe.
8 Coppied DNA
9 Or we aren't treating ourselves right.
10 God gave us what we need. Do you need eagle's eyes? Do your eyes work?
11 See #8
12 What about arcenic, cyanide, lead.

So a car that doesn't have it's own oil well is poorly designed?
14 Shared DNA
15 Stronger teeth. They have to last us through childhood into the rest of our lives.
So? All life uses DNA, does that make all life the same?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Let me summarize how (I think) evolution occured.
1. Suddenly a whole bunch of unstable matter and anti-matter appears in one spot and spontaniously explodes.
2. The fragments of the explosion use gravity to make stars.
3. Planets form. (Let's skip the difficulty of orbits and how ours is perfect for life as we know it)
4. A bunch of atoms get welded into protien strains, mitocondria, DNA, and other cellular bits.
5. #4. repeats a few quadrillion times
6. Compatible bits join together, this happens to happen inside a cell membrane.
7. Something for #6. to eat must already be formed
8. A large number of #6. get together and make a simple plant. Another group do the same and make an animal.
9. A cell mutates naturally to create a better life form. (must have happened all at once due to lack of in-between critters, but we'll disregard that)
10. #9. happens several trillion * several trillion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) times.
11. Ice age. Scratch off 99% of all species. Back to #9.
12. People (human) mutate into existance. They already know everything (Oog. Nothing ever be better than hard stick.)
13. The 2nd law of Thermodynamics comes into effect, (the one about action tending towards entropy/degenerating over time) all life prepares.

Something else I wonder about. What's wrong with murder/rape/incest if we're just a better version of animals?
