Lawrence Dorr from South San Francisco Calif. wrote in a letter this to Time Magazine (and it has been published in the Dec 4th issue along with a series of other letters on both sides of the issue, which were in response to the God vs. Science story in the November 13 issue):

What Intelligent Designer came up with caner and toothaches? Who “designed” your appendix and tonsils, organs that do nothing but get infected and cause you grief? How intelligent is the famously fragile human spine, or the narrow pelvis that makes childbirth harder for humans than for almost any other species? There are evolutionary explanations for all of these, but I hardly think there was much intelligence in designing halitosis, acne and flatulence.

I wish this guy would figure out which side he is arguing, because it seems he is almost arguing more for the Intelligent Design side; especially by bringing up that the human pelvis is so narrow as to make childbirth harder for humans than any other species. Lets see Genesis 3:16

To the woman He said, “I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you.” NASB

that is only the third chapter of the whole Bible. This guy is trying to argue against God without even reading three chapters of God’s book. Is it so much to expect that it you are going to reject the concept of a designer you at least knows a little bit about the history the Designer has reveled? As for his other points isn’t evolution suppose to enable us to adapt, so why hasn’t natural selection done away with the appendix, and tonsils and all these other problems that he mentions. Unless maybe God created us, and now, because of sin we have the 2nd law of thermodynamics:

Physicist Lord Kelvin stated it technically as follows: “There is no natural process the only result of which is to cool a heat reservoir and do external work.” In more understandable terms, this law observes the fact that the useable energy in the universe is becoming less and less. Ultimately there would be no available energy left. Stemming from this fact we find that the most probable state for any natural system is one of disorder. All natural systems degenerate when left to themselves.
