God’s creation reflects artistic creativity. God did not just create birds, but birds of many colors and sizes and songs. But is any one bird better than than another? Why create such variety unless to express artistry. We assume that since God created humans last in an iterative series, that humans must be the apex of creation. Arrogance and nonesense. God designed humans the way that God desired. Why did God give humans two legs and two arms? Why not design humans with four arms or with suction fingers or with two front eyes and two rear eyes? The human shoulder is a very complex and complicated joint. It is masterfully engineered, yet susceptible to so many dysfunctions. Evolutionists will argue that no deity would engineer such a fragile joint. I will reply that evolution should have bred out a fragile joint. God created humans according to God’s creative pleasure. God was an artist before a blank canvas and created what he pleased in the manner that he pleased. For God to create humans with inferiority, and for God to create humans with imperfections does not mean that God’s design is flawed. We exist according to God’s design, not according to our opinion of improvement. Just as we need not be immortal to be created by an immortal God, neither need we to be perfect to be created by a perfect God. In his cubist period, Pablo Picasso painted some pretty zany portraits to deconstruct and contrast the human form. God designed us the way God wished. That does not make us perfect. It makes us what God designed.
