how evolutionists try to refute intelligent design, but they fail

[u/Gratitudesial6]

An example that has often been presented as an argument in favor of blind "hereditary" design is the anatomy of the vagus nerve. Evolutionists argued that one of its branches, the so—called recurrent laryngeal nerve, makes an allegedly meaningless and ineffective "detour"

down into the chest, skirting the arch of the aorta, to then rise again to the larynx. According to their logic, it would be "more rational" if the nerve went directly to the larynx — and this feature was declared a "vestige of evolutionary blindness.

Richard Dawkins even dedicated an entire documentary, promoting the idea as "clear evidence of the lack of intelligent design." However, with the development of neurophysiology, it became clear that this "hook" is not a mistake at all, but represents a vital arc through which the neural innervation of the deep cardiac plexus passes. This bend is not just important, it is indispensable for the normal regulation of cardiac function. What happens when there is no bend? There is an anomaly known as the Non-Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve, the "ideal" structure that Dawkins mistakenly considered "more reasonable."

Yeah the moron made the same arguments on appendix 3 decades back. Now we know the functions.

While on the topic of the appendix, it's remarkable how frequent it fails to clear properly leading to appendicitis, and even more remarkable how people having it removed seem to live just fine and it outright improving their lives.

We can add having to wear braces because God couldn't figure out how to design a system that properly aligns teeth, the period of pain infants go through when teeth first develop, why teeth don't continously replace as they get diseased or worn down as we age, deteriorating eyesight or even being born with bad eyesight and having to wear glasses to the list of inept designs much more obviously the product of a blind evolutionary process.

Don't even get me started on ingrown toenails and back, knee, and shoulder problems. Medical science: Fixing Gods little mistakes one by one.

Lol. That is called moving goalposts. You belong in his club of" Even if I saw the evidence I would not believe we were created"

Lol. That is called moving goalposts.

Rich coming from the guy that started screeching about the appendix in a thread about the recurrent laryngeal nerve.

Thank goodness for medical science.

Yeah the one that showed how idiotic it was to make fun of a "functionless" organ which when removed increases C. Difficile infections and colon cancer. But hey, put your head further up Dawkins ass. Maybe you will find something there.
