I'm suffering from the cold just now and a simple refutation of the YEC position popped into my mind. If the Christian god supposedly created us in a perfect world with no pain or suffering, where Dinosaurs supposedly ate tofu , then why do we experience pain? Without going into the details, our bodies have complex pathways to perceive pain and produce painkillers (like endorphins). So, why can we feel pain and possess mechanisms to modulate it?
Closely associated with this is tissue damage. Why do we have complex repair mechanisms and the blood clotting cascade? Interestingly, Michael Behe claims that the blood clotting cascade is irreducibly complex and could not have evolved. Creationists want it both ways it seems. This idea is of course nonsense and is refuted here.
