I was reading though the latest rabbling on the Denial of Evolution thread and I think its time we make a growing list of all the things in biology that are quite clearly poorly designed and thus clear signed of a unconscious (stupid) evolution.
I already made a whole thread on one: RuBisCo: Dear god why?
RuBisCo being the horribly slow and inefficient enzyme which core of almost all photosynthesis on the planet. An intelligent designed photosynthetic pathway would not be so inefficient, would be immune to oxygen, clearly RuBisCo evolved during a time of little to no free oxygen and very high concentrations of CO2 and was keep ever since, evolution evolved hair-brain schemes to keep it working in todays atmosphere.
My persona favorite example is external testicles.Why have them external when internal makes so much more sense! Birds manage sperm production from internal testicles at very high core body temperatures, but when our ancestors evolved from a cold blooded organism instead of making sperm production viable at core body temperature it just move the testicles outside the body! Why implement such a stupid solution? Because evolution revolves around random mutation, random solutions present them selves and evolution takes advantage of them no matter if a better solution existed, if it is not presented by chance evolution can't select for it! In birds they were lucky that by chances mutation presented core body temperature sperm production, mammals were not so lucky in that mutation simply put the balls outside the body.
So any examples of clearly stupid design and thus direct evidence against the notion of intelligent design?
