Evolutionists argue that nature displays “bad design”—from junk DNA to vestigial organs—proving evolution rather than creation. But does this argument hold up? Dr Jonathan Sarfati examines why claims of poor design often reflect misunderstanding or ignore crucial trade-offs, why some organs deemed useless actually serve vital functions, and how deterioration since humanity’s fall explains apparent imperfections. Through compelling case studies like the human appendix—long dismissed as vestigial but now recognized as essential to gut health—discover why design “flaws” may reveal brilliant engineering we’re only beginning to understand.
