Intelligent Design or unthinking blasphemy?

someone hasn't read genesis 6 recently... yet man is anything but perfect, as the bible and its believers are the first to claim.

...yeah, what? ...so the fact that man is flawed is part of the perfect design? sounds a bit wanky to me. no, i think it's an important point. if god can look at his creation, and say "oh, hm, it's not good that i've made man without a companion" and then makes man a wife -- god is using trial an error. if god can look at man and go "oh. damn, i'm sorry i even tried this." then god can make errors -- by his own claim.you can say god is perfect all you want -- but we are not. and that buggers the whole argument. perfection cannot be an argument for design if the designor himself calls it imperfect.

there's a story in the bible, in 2nd samuel 24, and 1st chronicles 21, where david takes a census of israel, and is punished for it.he's punished, because god had promised abraham that his descendants would be as plentiful as the stars, or grains of sand on a beach. by COUNTING them, david is breaking god's promise.so apparently, sometimes checking god's details is bad.
