[If I've been "intelligently" designed, then why are my digestive and respiratory intakes linked? If a designer had avoided this, many fewer choking deaths would have occured over the years. ]
Why don't YOU design a plan to separate the digestive and respiratory paths, and then have a plastic surgeon work the plan on yourself. Then, when you have healed up, please tell us all about it.

Holy Missed Points, Batman!
It's not hard to imagine such a creature - if the lungs were simply placed behind the stomach instead of in front, and the nose and throat were not interconnected, there would be no need for the trachea and oesophagus to pass through each other.
A real bully's reply.
"Why don't you leave him alone?"
But just to stay on the rational side, if that surgery was possible, the only real drawback would be social conventions.
Actually, I did design a plan to separate the digestive and respiratory paths, and then have a plastic surgeon work the plan on myself. It worked out very nicely, thank you very much. :-)
well, good idea in not interconnecting them, but i kinda feel good knowing that if i get a stuffy nose, i can still breath ;) you'd need some sort of redundency for breathing, otherwise it would probably be bette the way it is
Odd, how creationism doesn't explain it very well, but evolution explains it perfectly... Humans have much worse layout for the esophagus and trachea/larynx than do most mammals. Why? Because we are bipedal, for one, but mainly because we have made sacrifices in order to be able to speak better. So, we can speak pretty well, and run a high risk of choking, while other animals don't choke very often but can't talk for shit.
I get home, relax, then come here, and I find this nut has like 5 quotes on the front page.
Who is he, and why the fuck is he so stupid?
A notable dodge of a question, I must admit.
"Hey, how come humans are so STUPIDLY designed?"
"Err, YOUR MOM. HA. HA HA."

wanted for questioning
Then why did God Give Squids the right eyes, and us, obviously flawed and inferior ones? Dolphins superior respiratory systems?
Cheetahs are faster. Birds can fly. For us to be the superior species, in reality, we're physically rather mediocre. Tell me again about this intelligent design...?
I would actually replace my lungs with carbon-fibre high-pressure oxygen tanks which allow to operate indefinitely underwater, not need to smell anything, and never choke.
They could be refilled through a small valve hidden somewhere along my spine
There was a story, written long ago by Mary Shelley, about a doctor who took a human body and redesigned it so that it worked better = by design. The veins and nerves were rerouted straighter, etc. The 'new' person was vastly superior in strength, speed, and intelligence. Hollywood got ahold of it and made Dr. Frankenstein's man out to be a monster.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
