its 10:45 gmt........intelligent design question time!!!!!!
why can eyes trick ears? sound is a physical thing, it enters the ears in a fixed pattern, if so why would god design us so our eyes via the brain can change what we hear??? wouldnt it be better to just hear what we hear? cutting down on confusion. is their any logical reason to for us to hear what we see rather than hear what we hear??? all rather odd, dont ya'think.

That is built in to our DNA. Not a very good design from the viewpoint of getting the best visual clarity. So you would then say, old Adam had these beautifully designed eyes where among other things, the placement of the blood supply vessels for the retina are on the BACK of the cones?

have a look at this example of the mcgurk effect.

In my case, I have been near-sighted from at least the 7th grade, when it was determined that I needed eyeglasses. I got more nearsighted with time. In my old age, cataracts appeared on my eyes and the eye doctor did surgery and replaced the lenses in my eyes so that I could see good at a distance. but had to wear reading glasses. I did not like that and had the lenses replaced with some that made me nearsighted again so I could see very good, better than the normal person close up. I guess I just got used to looking at things close up without glasses and did not like not being able to see close up. I have no need to see like a hawk.

I guess you are not saying ID is invalid. You have only suggested that it appears to you to be a non-optimal design. If you are trying to disprove Intelligent Design you have not done so.
A poor design is STILL a design.
A non-optimal design is STILL a design.
