Intelligently Designed Mess
I’ve heard some “interesting debates” (to say the least) about the idea of Intelligent Design that somehow all people were “intelligently designed” by this supreme being living up in the heavens. And this supreme being is almighty and can do no wrong.
My answer to that is: that being could take some industrial design lessons down here on my humble Earth. And while he’s here, I’d like to ask him a few questions as to why he designed things the way they were if they were supposedly so intelligently designed (NOT!).
Anyone who’s tried to pick his/her own child’s ear can attest that the way ear wax are formed inside a child’s ear canals proves that the ears aren’t so intelligently designed. Some wax hug to the wall of the ear and seem to have root grown inside them. Sure, there are remedies to use and techniques to try, but my point is, if the ears were so intelligently designed, the damn wax would always fall out of the ear “by design”!
Evolution is dirty and messy, and that’s the way things work. Anyone who tells me there’s a God up there who so intelligently designed everything so perfectly can try to dip his head in the water for 10 minutes and tell me if the fact that we can’t breath under water was so intelligently designed by this God of his. When everywhere else in the world is in a hurry to fund math and [real] science, it’s hard to comprehend that here, in the United States, arguably the most advanced nation in the world, even has a movement that’s seemingly winning the “Intelligent Design” war in education. Are they really serious? Or is this just a big hoax by the Religious nuts?
Religion belongs to the heart and private homes; it has no place in education, politics or government.
Sorry. I was frustrated trying to pick some of the weirdest ear waxes in Bryan’s ears. And I thought this stupid Intelligent Design idea is just insane and poorly conceived…. hence the rant…

The ear was designed to create and hold wax to protect the ear from bugs and sand getting in.
Did I say designed? I meant something else…

Isn’t that what the ear follicles in the ear canal are for? Yes, ear wax was “designed” to be secreted in such a way that stuff aren’t supposed to accidentally fall into the ear, but then what are some ear canals “designed” so fucked up that they are so hard to clean (that is, if they are meant to be cleaned; you clean yours, don’t you? Hah hah)?

heh – I clean mine now because I have hearing aids and they like having a clean passage, but before I never did. It just seeps out on it’s own while I sleep. You ever notice how you produce more based on season? Or when you’re sick? Protects you from germies!

i thought if you use q-tip after you taking a shower then there won’t be any wax build up. Am i wrong?? maybe my ears are stuffed with nasty wax right now… hahah

Find me a Q-tip that is perfectly made (or should I say, “designed”) for all the unique differences of each person’s ear canal, then I’ll forever hold my silence.
More importantly, find me a Q-tip that is made for use on a toddler’s (let alone infant’s!) tiny ear canals without PUSHING the wax further into the ear (yes, they made tiny ones; but they are pretty useless). Basically, what happens is, when kids feel something is itchy in the ear (possibly wax falling out), they use their, sometimes greasy, fingers to poke their ears, often pushing the wax fairly deep in the ear canals. Over a short period of time, that wax dries and hardens. And because some ear canals are different in that they curve in such a way that ear wax pickers are nearly impossible to get to, you are at the mercy of a) wax somehow falls out by itself (which I’ve noticed just isn’t the case sometimes, b) pouring water into the ear and hopefully it’s softened enough to get picked out, or c) one of those ear wax drops to help soften and dissolve the ear wax…
Don’t take me wrong, I think most of what nature has to offer is marvelous and amazing. But I just don’t take the baloney that somehow things are perfectly “designed” because “someone” (i.e. God) took the time to do it. I mean, if human bodies are so perfectly designed, is going bold a feature? Why can’t teeth regenerate for the 3rd or 4th time if they fall out/decay? Why didn’t this powerful God design our lungs in such a way that we don’t need to surface above the water for air every few minutes? Why do whales have lungs if they are supposed to be sea creatures? Did this mighty God forget that he gave the damn whale lungs instead of gills? I can go on…. But I won’t bore you with this…

If only life did exist and not bio-machinery
It has been known for some time now that life is just bio-chemical machinery. No soul was found. No extra magic energy and anything like that to speak of.
In fact one could even say “true” life does not even exist for none of the machinery is seen to be “alive”.
If you’re not alive, not a life form, running as Biomachinery with intelligent command structured software DNA programming. That would make you technology, a machine that is designed to believe it is some how alive.
Such a complex illusion is a masterfully designed piece of engineering to say the least.
That would by default make “life” not natural – but intelligently designed.
Technology is clear for all to see if you got the intelligence to see at all.
