So the concept of Intelligent Design won't work unless the design is flawed.
No, the arguement is, what we see as a flaw, actually isn't. It's a requirement for life to continue. If every animal uses energy to survive, but each was perfectly able to defend against all attacks, no energy could be consumed, and every animal dies. It is the interdependence of organisms on each other that makes the animal kingdom on earth successful. Exploiting an organisms' weaknesses is crutial to another's survival.

The next question is: Does it take an "intelligent" designer to balance all of those flaws or just an incompetent boob?
You tell me. No system, even designed ones are perfect correct? Could you design a system that could be left untouched for 6000 years and remain functional? If every employee working in roads/contruction/municipal traffic engineers/etc. stopped changing the traffic system, how long would it remain functional? A year? Less?
