Intelligent design not so smart.

[WillNever]

So we healthy ones can appreciate what we have. God makes good and bad things happen to us. Good and bad in order to try us (as persons, parents, brothers etc...).

God makes others born disadvantaged so that others can feel good about what they have? That sounds loving.

Now, what about the disadvantaged? What do they get to be appreciate?

hence you cite all these as evidence of a design bereft of intelligence, yes?

I would not say evidence, but it does question the concept of intelligent design. Should we see life's continued survival as perfection, or its continued, desperate, and losing battle, bad (random) design.

Perfection is a human construct, expressed no where else but in the human mind.

Happiness comes from the roll of a dice, not god/s.

Now, what about the disadvantaged? What do they get to be appreciate?

are you asking what do they have to be thankfull for?
i know this doesn't apply to all handicapped, but some are thankfull for the ppl in their lifes who are taking care of them..

 

[WillNever]

And some have no one to take care of them. Next...

I would not say evidence, but it does question the concept of intelligent design.

hence

IOW as long as one is possessed by the value that the needs, interests and concerns of (conditioned) living entities stand at the pinnacle of any consideration of intelligent design, there is ample evidence for it not to be so.
