Let's assume there is a designer. And let's assume the designer set the universe in motion in one Big Bang and then sat back to watch the result of that design very rarely nudging things in this or that direction.

Until we come to one wyattearp. Now the designer who preordained natures laws and elements has managed in one fell swoop to design a universe that actually works with all that entails.

But Wyatt thinks the designer is stupid because the giraffes neck is too short. The logical question is of course, what has Wyatt ever designed that approaches the complexity of even one element or microbe in the universe. Undoubtedly the answer is nothing, nada, zippo.

So, you'll understand if I take your criticism of the designer with amusement rather than taking it seriously.

"So, you'll understand if I take your criticism of the designer with amusement rather than taking it seriously."

It was you who implied faulty design when you said,

"The notion that the giraffes neck and leg dimensions were naturally selected is one that is rather dubious if one has ever seen a giraffe drink water."

You can't have it both ways. You can't say that an example of excellent design is evidence for a designer and on the other hand an example of lousy design is also evidence for a designer.
