Being of the opinion that the sheer number of really messed up things in nature could not have arisen by accident or coincidence, I subscribe to the theory of inelegant design, which posits that evolution is guided by an intelligence that doesn& #39;t actually know what it& #39;s doing.

Darwinian survival of the fittest does not adequately account for the existence of the koala, a stoned little gremlin that does nothing but sleep all day and eat cough drop trees. We must posit the existence of a greater (in power) being who somehow thought this was a good idea.

See, the mammalian spine is a perfectly good design for a quadruped. And yet, the pinnacle of mammalian evolution is bipedal?

The existence of an inelegant designer explains this discrepancy. https://twitter.com/schanoes/status/1380192760540626945">https://twitter.com/schanoes/...

If you were walking in the desert and you found, like, a really ugly watch that technically sort of worked but had a lot of weird quirks, you wouldn& #39;t think, "This watch occurred naturally." Nor would you think, "The watchmaker knew what they were doing and meant to do this."
