no sugar craving in cats

Cats don't taste sugar. For a carnivore, this makes sense, and one would expect God to have made it so. But wait. It turns out that cats do have a gene for tasting sugars, just like other mammals. The gene has a mutation that prevents it from functioning. The RNA is made in the right cells, but the sugar receptor protein is not expressed. Now why would God do that? There is only one possible answer: S/He didn't. It's a bad engineering design; no reasonable engineer would do this. So God can't be a reasonable engineer. But that doesn't make sense for a being who putatively created an entire universe. There is only one one possible conclusion: There is no god. Genetic flaw leaves felines without sweet tooth, CNN.
