(1)God isn't interested in technology. He knows nothing of the potential of the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time! Forty three species of parrot! Nipples for men! Slugs! He created slugs! They can't hear! They can't speak! They can't operate machinery! I mean, are we not in the hands of a lunatic? If I were creating a world, I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, eight o'clock, Day One!

Personally, I have always thought that the fact that certain mission critical naughty bits dangle out front in human anatomy suggested that very little intelligence went into the design of humans.

Very little intelligence, perhaps. But what an eye!

Yes, but they'd be wrong.

Well, it could be that $DEITY is female and has a rather vengeful sense of humor.
On the other hand, the phenomena of menstruation, pregnancy, and labor might demonstrate that she's an equal-opportunity practical joker.

Actually, slugs have very sharp teeth that don't wear off very fast.
