and you want the speed of a cheetah?
HELL YEAH I DO!!!!
The human body has a LOT of trade offs. I wouldn't say that the human body is "effecient". Instead, I would describe human anatomy as a good compromise.
What I have always found interesting is that Michael Behe would describe biological functions as Rube Goldberg mechanisms. He somehow thought that this indicated design, but it seems to me that he never really thought his analogy through to the end. Rube Goldberg mechanisms were funny because they were perfect examples of how NOT to design something, and yet that is how life is put together. It works, but the way in which it works is anything but "effecient".
