Life was designed with the capability to be flawed, yes.
Perhaps you might tell us how so many organisms have so many flaws... yet the flaws still work pretty well? Well enough that creationists tend to defend these things as not being flawed at all?
How does The Fall (TM) -- to which I'm sure you're alluding -- invert a retina? Re-route a nerve (the recurrent laryngeal)? How did bat lungs get corrupted from their bird-like original state into the inefficient mammalian form they now have?

Re: via deeper physics
And that is supposed to be some sort of answer? The Fall inverted vertebrate retinas via... *excuse me*... quantum fucking mechanics?!
Seriously, I have to ask... are you taking the piss?

Re: via deeper physics
Ah, of course. Thanks Crash, it all makes sense now.
