Now I have heard it all!

I see your argument from design, and raise you an argument from poor design.
http://www.answers.com/topic/argument-from-poor-design
“The argument from poor design or dysteleological argument is an argument against the existence of God, specifically against the existence of a creator God (in the sense of a God that directly created all species of life). It is based on the following premise:
1. An omnipotent omniscient omnibenevolent creator God would create organisms that have optimal design.
2. Organisms have features that are suboptimal.
3. Therefore, God either did not create these organisms or is not omnipotent, omniscient or omnibenevolent.
The argument is structured as a basic Modus tollens.
The argument is often used as a counter argument to the argument from design, and it is criticized by those who use that argument. If the argument from poor design is found to be acceptable, the argument from design is flawed as a consequence. The goal of the argument is to point out that the “creation” contains many defects, therefore intelligence wouldn’t make a practical theory for the origin of our existence.”
Read the whole thing. It really puts the kibosh on your ‘paperclip’ theory.
