Neil deGrasse Tyson has a funny argument against the idea of intelligent design.

If you were designing a species, why would you make the passage for air and food the same thing? Wouldn't that obviously lead to choking?

Logically, you'd want to design one passage for food and one entirely separate passage for air to eliminate the risk of choking.

And it's not even an impossible request. Just look at dolphins.
