I'd like to take this one to another thread if that is okay?

Maybe it was a bet with another Supreme Being? Maybe it was a joke? I mean, look at us. There are some pretty funny things about our bodies, aren't there?
Well, locating the organs of urination and reproduction so close together was pretty damn funny. Every time my wife sees mine she dies laughing!

Hang on, you're not suggesting there's an altern...

You can't create causation, can you, because isn't creation itself a type of causation?

Anyhow, how sure are you that there is causation? It could all be just one big coincidence.

Okay, if there is no God, was there a beginning of the universe?
Was there ever a time when nothing was anywhere?

If there such a time, or there wasn't, why?

Or what about locating the air intake pipe and the food intake pipe so close together. Seems pretty obvious you'd want to keep the air intake pipe away from as many potential blockages as possible.

Also, why didn't we get claws? I could sure go for a bitchin', Wolverine-style set of claws...

Note too that we males have the most delicate part of our anatomy on the outside. This proves, as elvendreamgirl intimates, that God is a woman. It also disproves natural selection. Never mind those intermediate eyes: how could it be evolutionarily advantageous to have all prospect of future reproduction dangling in a loose sack of skin? Eek.

God has a lot to answer for.

By the way, did you see a cartoon show called 'God, the Devil and Bob'? I gather it was a little too casual about religion for mainstream American tastes. Conversely, AFAIK 'Bibleman' is unlikely to become a big hit in the UK, though from what I've heard that's a real shame.

I don't know, but my Alex and I are doing as much research as possible on that particular area of the body. 😀
