Why Evolution Explains the Human Body Better than Intelligent Design Does

Here is my primary reason why evolution explains the human body so much better than ID does: the standards for evolution are much lower.

The standard for systems that evolve is “good enough to not cause death before reproduction, too much of the time.”

The standard for ID is “designed by an infallible Creator.” You can see the difference here.

Believe me, evolution explains human anatomy far better than any notion of a good designer. Human bodies are just too badly put together to stand up to even reasonable design specifications, much less infallible ones.
