How does designing something that is avoidably more flawed not reflect on the designer?

What KJ means is - Man is created to His image, therefore the eye is also created to His image. The means that he Creator has also a blind spot in His eye...

Like I believed in Him, what was I thinking...?

Fossils do not require belief, they are part of our reality, what you
tell me about them that is true or not could be something worth
believing or not.

An avoidable flaw? I gave you one reason why it could be there, and
that is because of decay of systems over time, the other point that
neither I or you know the answer too, what would happen if it were
not there would it create greater problems than a blind spot?

Why should anyone consider that 'reason?'

Why wouldn't you? You are fully ready to accept the flaw moving
forward from fewer complexities to greater complexity, why would it be
any different winding down?

That would depend on the interpretation now wouldn't it?

Tell us your interpretations. What is your take on these fossils?

You misunderstand. Why should we accept that explanation as reasonable?

I see no reason to accept or ignore either claim, since we don't know
how it occured beyond any doubt.

What we believe to be true is that creatures lived and found
themselves in the right place, under the proper conditions to turn
into fossils over time. Had they not they would have just turned to
dust. Beyond that, we start moving into assumptions and those
assumptions are wide and varied.

And your assumption as to the age is that pathetic 10,000 years. You really have your head buried in the sand of the 2000 year old scam.

Er. Are you suggesting that all claims are equally well substantiated?

But I have pointed out that the idea that fossils came from creatures is just as much assumption as the ideas required to date them. Yet you take one of those ideas as 'fact' and the other as 'faith'.
I think that we have more reasons to trust the dating method than we do to trust the conclusion that the fossils originated as creatures.

What would be your alternate representation of fossils if not creatures?
Are you conjecturizing about some natural process other than lifeforms that would give fossils their shape? What natural process would you suggest that can do that and to show the changes over time that we clearly see. Also, what about fossilized footprints, recently found scratches found matching the size of the talons on certain dinosaurs?
