>God isn’t real and neither is intelligent design. My proof? The kidneys
>>the kidneys don’t exist for any reason at all. Urine is actually vapor, a gaseous substance when it is in the stomach and it doesn’t pass through the kidneys but goes straight through the body to the bladder.
>the kidneys exist for no reason at all with no purpose


This was a real philosopher by the way who said all this.

Can you actually quote the work in question?

>His view, in fact, is that the fluid which we drink passes into the bladder by being resolved into vapours, and that, when these have been again condensed, it thus regains its previous form, and turns from vapour into fluid. He simply looks upon the bladder as a sponge or a piece of wool, and not as the perfectly compact and impervious body that it is, with two very strong coats. For if we say that the vapours pass through these coats, why should they not pass through the peritoneum and the diaphragm, thus filling the whole abdominal cavity and thorax with water? "But," says he, "of course the peritoneal coat is more impervious than the bladder, and this is why it keeps out the vapours, while the bladder admits them."
