TUD - The Theory Of Unintelligent Design

In a previous post I discussed the unintelligent design that put hair on toes. Actually, where hair grows and doesn't grow on a human seems to be haphazard. I understand the purpose of hair under arms and in the pubic areas. I can see the benefit of hair over the eyes and in the nose. I can also see how thick hair on the head and face would be useful in harsh environments. But then why do many men lose the hair on their head as they age? And why don't women have thick hair on their faces? If it was a good enough idea for men, why not women? A woman with a thick beard doesn't sound very appealing, but I'm sure we could get used to it. Who knows, if it were soft, like cats fur, it might be kind of appealing.

Why do we have a thin layer of hair over most of our bodies? It's not thick enough to protect us from the elements. Doesn't the body waste resources growing it? Wouldn't it be better to put that energy into keeping some hair on balding heads? Or grow the hair on your arms longer so you could wear short sleeve shirts year round? Think about it. With more hair on your feet, women could wear flip-flops in the winter!

Speaking of wasted resources. We have this useless hair and the current fashion for both men and women is to spend good money (and endure some horrendous pain) to remove it. Does that make sense?

And what about gray hair? Don't old people suffer from enough indignities without being stigmatized by the obvious change in hair color?

And finally, why is it when you get old hair starts growing in places it never grew before or starts growing longer and wilder? Isn't it ridiculous that a man goes bald at the same time his eyebrows, nose hairs and ear hairs grow like a jungle? You know you are old when your barber asks if he can trim your eyebrows, nose and ears!

If there is an intelligent designer, he/she must have been having a bad hair day when they designed hair.

By the way, the intelligent designer should feel free to jump in and post a reply anytime. I'm sure we'd all like to hear the logic behind hair.
