You make one.

I don't make any claims to omnipotence or omniscience. God, or at least the standard definition of God, does. Yet there are still a myriad of examples throughout nature of suboptimal design, something easily explained by evolution but not by creationism.

For example, why did God decide to install the retina backwards in humans(and the vast majority of other animals as well? It creates a blind spot, and makes human eyes prone to detached retinas. Squids and octopuses, however, have their retinas in the right way. And I don't think it's because cephalopods are God's favorite creation.

Why did God make anything any particular way? (His good pleasure.)

Cephalopods die, don’t they?

Everything dies. The question is has Jesus Christ actually resurrected from the grave and defeated death?

ask Him, not imperfect humans who can’t comprehend His ways in the first place.
science books get re-written every day, since they’re nothing more than notes on theories - this is what we think happened, and why.
