re: #452 gmsc

If we are designed …

… why did God design the human jaw to be big enough for 28 teeth, and then give us 32?
… why are we designed so that we can not simultaneously breathe and swallow food? What design purpose does the potential for choking serve?
… why do we have an extensor coccygis muscle, whose only point would be to flex the coccyx bone if the coccyx weren’t fused together?
… why weren’t humans designed with the ability to regrow limbs? It was obviously “designed” into creatures such as salamanders, so why not humans?
… why is the human spine segmented? The spine’s “design” is great for horizontal compression, but notoriously poor for vertical stress. When was the last time you saw even an ancient building that was supported by such a structure?
… why run a feature as important as the spinal cord through something as poorly designed for an upright creature as the human spine is?

To employee dentists.

To eliminate dumb asses that try.

To give us tail envy.

To remind us not to do the stupid ass thing that lost us the limb again.

So we can build something bigger than we can move.

To keep us humble.

Any more questions?
