If the designer is all knowing and all powerful, and he loves his creation then he must have a reason to have designed these bodies with weaknesses.
OK. So what is the reason?

He decided to create a world in which there will be mystery; in which we can not understand many of the things that go on in it until after we leave this level and proceed to the next. He didn't want us to know everything right now.
Who are you talking about? Or is that all part of the mystery too?

Re: When its intelligent
To answer your question, I say a design is intelligent, for as long as that design exists without someone being able to give some other CLEAR and exact explanation for how it came to be.
Until that happens, it is intelligent in origin.
Well, it just so happens you are very fortunate, because there is a clear and exact explanation - it's called the Theory of Evolution.
Why don't you read some books on the subject (written by evolutionary biologists who have constructed the theory, and not by creationists) and then come back with some intelligent questions about anything you may not understand?

Re: Turtles and Tigers and Monkeys... Oh My!
I then have to listen to Jumped Up Chimpanzee add his all important contribution to the subject "Why don't you read some books on the subject (written by evolutionary biologists who have constructed the theory, and not by creationists) and then come back with some intelligent questions about anything you may not understand?" Gee read a book-great debate stuff! You guys sure do know how to make an argument.
The reason why you need to read a book on the theory of evolution (written by someone who has helped construct or support the theory) is because up to now, you have been trying to debate against your own theory of evolution and not one that the rest of us are familiar with.
