a) make teeth with nerves in them?

SO you know when you've bitten off more than you can chew?

b) make teeth that typically don't last a lifetime?

They did once.. we're just living longer.... and don't have room for "wisdom
teeth" any more...
My personal theory, and just a WAG, is that they were designed as "replacement
molars" for the time in life that your OEM equipment had word down due to the
amount of sand and grit on your food..

Wasn't it obvious that the "design life' of
humans would increase over time as we
figured out how to use all that gray matter
provided in our "design"?

It's my personal observation, after almost 60 years of study, that most of us
are WAY short of the 50% mark there...

c) put hair on human male heads that often only last 30 to 40 years. Did The Intelligent Designer
leave it to us to figure out how to make hats from other animals' hides or fur
to keep our heads warm - or from baking?

Anticipated life span again... I'd think that most animals, our job is to
reproduce and then get out of the way of the next generation... but we're living
past that now..

c) have the sex drive kick in before the development of at least the basics understanding of cause
and effect (sic hoc, ergo propter hoc)?

Again, I'd guess we're designed to go about 30 years at best, if we avoid dino
feet, etc... cats and dogs can ( and will, if not spayed) breed when they're
very young... to keep the species going..
Again, just a guess, but if you're designed to go 30 years before you're out of
warranty, why bother being sexy and wanting to mate after your projected check
out time...

Want proof that mother nature has a sense of humor??
Why else would a man reach his sexual peak at 18 and a woman at 32??? lol
