Oh FFS. "Stupid design" is some of the best evidence for evolution, and has been recognised as such since Darwin's time. There are umpteen examples that are well known. Look up "recurrent laryngeal nerve" for a start.

Devious, treacherous, murderous, neanderthal, sub-human of the West.

Humans have become masters of this world even with their testicals on the outside!

Little Fly, Thy summer's play
My thoughtless hand has brushed away.

I too dance and drink, and sing,
Till some blind hand shall brush my wing.

Therefore I am a happy fly,
If I live or if I die.

True, dat ^

I kinda see what Gladfly is getting at, though. But Gladfly, explain why the stupendous detour of the Giraffe's laryngeal nerve is good design?

This muslima creationist made a youtube vid promoting her views and then filed a DMCA claim after Potholer54 debunked her assertions...

This muslima creationist

She's hilarious - cute, affected and vacuous enough for Made in Chelsea.

She'd have sooo much more fun there too.

Irrelevant. In evolution there is no good design or bad design. Just like there is no good or bad mutation. Evolution tends to favour species that are good at surving in the environmental niche they happen to be in. Fishes are perfect in water. Birds are perfect in the air.

Giraffes species for example is around a million years old! A miilion years! And is suited in the african savanahs....

You're confusing "can survive ok in the current environment" with "perfect". They're not the same thing, and if you want to be clear about evolution you should not mix them up.
