The Gods Were Incompetent

As magnificent as humans say the Universe is, there are flaws. I thought about this when I recently read a publication on research into "Junk DNA". Only about 2 % of the DNA in our genome codes for proteins.

I would like to start a thread and invite other participants to simply provide one clear example in the realm of science, it doesn't have to be biology, which raises doubt as to why a "creator" would have made these mistakes. I will start.

VESTIGIAL STRUCTURES

The appendix (although it might be a Reservoir for useful flora and fauna).
The coccyx bones. Vestiges of out tail.
Adenoids/tonsils.
Nipples on a male (you heard the clique- worthless as teats on a boar hog).
There are others.

It just doesn't make sense that an omniscient creator would be incompetent.
