First, sitting at a desk is not the reason we have weak abdominal muscles. Those muscles are weak because they are stretched to twice the length they are in other mammals. This is do to our standing upright.
Granted, sloth and donuts don't help.
Secondly, God didn't have the forsight to design our bodies for sitting at a desk.
Third, this seems to imply that we should still be nomadic herders.

If God were to make an infallible human then he would never choke, never get angry, make a mistake, trip, fall or bump our head. Is it Gods fault that I stubbed my toe? Was it because of his poor design that I miss calculated my foot step?
But this is not a design issue. It isn't Ford's fault if people drive poorly. It is Ford's fault if the brakes are substandard.

This is where I have a BIG problem with the TOE and natural selection. Traits like the spinal ridges, eye brows, mens nipples all have little to no effect in increasing the possibility of reproduction yet every single human has them.
Schraf just explained the spinal ridges to you. How exactly is it that you know that eyebrows serve no purpose? Actually they do. Look it up on Google.
Male and female embryos are the same, the female develops functional breasts the male doesn't but still has the features that developed before the sexes diverge.
