The Bad Design Argument

I would call that a pseudogene, which is evidence of shared history, evidence of common descent, but not “bad design”. I’m not going to make the value judgement “bad” about God’s creation.

Why would God “guide the human genome” to include a useless gene or pseudogene? … except if it was a normal artifact of his “growing” humanity from the primate lineage that has the useless gene already.
