The statement that God made our bodies the best design they could be. I am an engineer and from an biological standpoint the body is an amazing piece of work but from an engineering standpoint the body is an flawed design, when it works it works great, but one flaw can break the entire chain, one injury can have a domino effect. As engineers you design things with safety factors and secondary protection factors that protect things in the event of a small failure, the body often does not have the ability to do that. First of all just the act of making us upright beings causes an enormous amount of stress on the body. And evolution/nature often takes millions of years to perfect a design.

Maybe our bodies were only designed to last until we were expected to die... say 30-40 years?
