Okay, Known for my odd little quirks, I want to say this one.
Human, infact all animal's bodys are flawed. Do you realise that you breath, not because you have to, but because your blood needs oxygen.
How much easier do you think living would be if we just absorbed oxygen?
The fact that we HAVE to eat is another big downfall. We over eat all the time.
Blood! even thats bad.
Did you know one cut in your armpit and you don't stop bleeding? 1 Minute is all it will take and your dead.
I could go on, but I have to get off. School is where I must go now.
Caio! (Finish laterz)

That armpit thing is interesting...I don't think that I have ever heard that before...
I agree with you though. We are as far from 'perfect' as we could possibly be. I really doubt there is a such thing as perfection really...I mean, just TRY to define perfection...one really can't, there is SO much there to explain and even then, one would still have flaws in the explanation! Yes, we have many downfalls, but I would guess that is the benefit of all animals. The fact that we can survive even with these shortcomings is pretty amazing (speaking of all animals here). Absorbing oxygen would be much easier, I agree. And the food..yes, we do over eat...a LOT. Wild animals eat only when they need to and only as much as they need. Most share what food they have killed (if carnivorous) with their packs. They aren't really that greedy, but most of the time, we humans can't get it through our heads that that food we throw in the trash, someone would be very willing to finish for us. Seriously, why do we need so many different types of bread, or tomato, or brands of soup, etc. We could just as easily take half of the brands of food, and just get rid of it and we would STILL have enough food to feed people twice over!
Ok..that got on a bit of I tangent there..sorry..kind of a touchy subject for me...peoples unconcious greed.. sweatdrop
Ok..point is..I agree with you. 3nodding

Why are these natural processes seen as flawed? That strikes me as highly illogical to say that a thing is flawed just because natural processes serve some purpose for the preservation of an organism. Presented is a flawed undertanding of the way the world works, not flaws of the natural world.
We cannot simply 'absorb' oxygen as a multicellular organism. Diffusion is insufficient to transport gases throughout a multicellular organism and a circulatory system is REQUIRED to distribute oxygen and nutrients in a multicellular organism. In plants, that circulatory sytem consists of xylem and phloem and uses the adhesive/cohesive properties of water as the driving force. Insects have an open-circulatory system while we have a closed one. Regardless, circulation is required because by the laws of physics and chemistry it is impossible for diffusion alone to distribute oxygen in a multicellular organism.
Organisms must eat to live, both to maintain homeostasis and to continue growth and tissue regeneration. Plants "eat" soil nutrients and carbon dioxide in order to build complex sugar molecules that form their very bodies. We do similarly when we eat; if we did not eat our bodies would eat themselves in order to fuel metabolic processes such as circulation, neurological activity, renal activity, etc. That's just the way things are.
The armpit thing is completely false. Having cut myself there previously while shaving I can tell you with 100% certainty that it both stopped bleeding and that this is not a spirit entity typing on the keyboard. The only cuts that do not clot easily are those that have been inflicted on a hemophiliac or those which are deep and penetrating a major artery.
Please, learn your science kid. xd Good arguments can be made for a universal "flawed" nature of the universe but this... isn't quite it. sweatdrop

Hem.
Learn my science? Excuse me for being a freshmen.
I present these thoughts not because I want to know how the world works, who or even what made us. I say these simply to say the few things I have left in ideas.
These natural processes are flawed. Our mind is flawed as well as our bodys. As a multi-cellular organism, in theory we could absorb oxygen as a plant does, but for a different reason.
Diffusion alone. Diffusion alone. Think about that. Its the process of which something penitrates a membrane. Clear jello and food dye is a classic example. We already absorb so much, how do I say? Crap into our bodys every day. Circulation is required, of course, but there would be better ways than the thousands of tubes running through our body. What could that be? Not a clue.
Homeostasis has long left Obeice people. They start out skinny. Then they over eat. And keep over eating. more and more untill they get so fat they have to eat less and less. At some point they had a good body weight, were eating heathy, then all it took was just those 6 cheese burgers for them to entirely mess up their homeostasis.
Have you gotten that cut deeper than just a scratch? Get it a little deeper. Trust me, you'll die.
I'll finish my shpeal later. Gotta go to school.

Continuing.
If we were to simply have a differently wired curculatory system, say, not one 3inch slice along your arm and you die, would make more sense.
Our muscle structure is decent, therefor I shall not complain on it, lest I lose the ability for typing.
Okay. I said I would finish my original thing, and now I will.
The only thing we have evolved, and barely at that, is our mind. Our mind is the only thing we have going for us. Without our mind we would have never been able to murder those 'animals' accused of killing a human. (Survival is interesting. We kill animals for killing 1 human, yet canibalism in situtations such as a plane crash and your lost or deserted island is fine.)
I love our mind, yet loathe it with every fiber of my personal hate for humans.

Is it necessarily a flaw that a supercomputer will stop working when you cut up the circuitry?
