I'm still waiting for his response to my E-mail.

This is a loaded question...

Personally, I firmly believe that the universe and everything in it, is partially an expression of my own personal will. Other aspects of existence are expressions of other's wills. We are all divine in a state of flux.

If god created me 'he' needs some input on the design of the human knee and wisdom teethe.

There's a verse from the Short Obligatory Prayer used by Baha'is that answers this question...

"Thou hast created me to know and to worship Thee."

So that in a "nutshell" is my response.

My wife says He made men when He was just joking around.

Let me throw a question back to all. About three decades ago, a British biologist by the name of Desmond Morris raised some eyebrows (and some ire) when he referred to humans as "The Naked Ape" in his book by the same name. Do any of you take offense to that?

Not remotely. We're all animals. We humans just happen to be at the top of the food chain. To deny our animalistic nature is to deny part of what makes us what we are. That's not to say that we should be living in trees, but look where all of our hubris as humans has taken us...you don't see animals committing atrocities against each other. You don't see animals raping the ecosystem. True, a monkey can't write Shakespeare or paint The Last Supper either. Balance, recognition, and temperance of our varied nature is essential to become more than a human, or an animal.
