Finding ways to achieve a goal within constraints is the challenge....
Just bizarre. Since when is the 'designer' of the universe subject to constraints? That's what I mean about you shoving Her into a little box.
To relate this to the subject of missing links: why would there be
any links if every organism was specially designed?
Why design
archaeopteryx with feathers
and teeth? Dinosaurs without feathers were pretty successful and birds without teeth are still pretty successful. If Archie was just an experiment, where are the other experiments? Where is the fish-whale experiment?
It seems to me that a 'designer' - as you describe Her - would have left a lot of more-or-less successful experiments behind. So, where are all the missing experiments?
People who think they have all the answers usually don't understand the questions.
