paleonet Stupid design



As a french, I may have little understanding of the ID theory. How do 
they cope with the numerous examples of poor design in living organisms ?
I remember a movie showing an argument against the existence of a 
Creator from the position of the human tibia in front of the leg, which 
makes it a fragile and easy target. In a similar way, the panda's thumb 
famous from Gould's paper is a very poor way (a deformation of the 
metacarpian) of gaining a prehensile hand. With their short arms the 
Tyrex could not only reach their own mouth...
We know this comes from the historical contingency of evolution, but how 
could God be so poor an architect ?
