David Alvarado Philosophy 6 Dorcas K. Chung April 3, 2015 Paper Assignment #2 Could a sovereign, immutable God have crafted complexities in this world or perhaps the imperfections on species have evolved thru the times? As the naturalist Richard Dawkins reveals, the laryngeal nerve is an example of imperfect “design,” as it starts from the brain, takes a long detour down through the body, and then goes back up again to the larynx.
