I have zero confidence in your ability to read and comprehend anything remotely related to science, so I'm going to need to read your skin cancer reference for myself.  Survival of the fittest is a simple way of describing natural selection (evolution).  Your skin cancer statistic doesn't reflect how it affected mortality or whether it affected the person's ability to reproduce IOT affect "survival of the fittest" (e.g. natural selection/evolution.)  That statistic reflects the morbidity of a single disease only.  Regardless, currently there are more people living longer than ever before despite your misuse of a statistic out of context to support an incorrect POV.

To review, the sun is most common cause (the sun's UV radiation) of the most common cancer (melanoma) in the US.   According to ID, God designed the sun, hydrogen fusion, hydrogen, the other elements, compounds, molecules, atoms, subatomic particles, chemical and molecular bonds, UV radiation along with the remaining spectrum of visible and nonvisible radiation, the solar system and the physics of the solar system, the Earth, the Earth's atmosphere, the biosphere, humans, human skin, skin cells and cell components, molecular biology, chemistry, physiology, genetic material, genetic replication and expression, phenotypes and genotypes, etc, etc.  Before god designed all of this, cancer didn't exist.  Cancer is his brain child.  Unless you're point is he went to all that trouble designing all those things and his design if so delicate Man is effin' up his plan.  Is that your point?  Well, Man can't throw a monkey wrench into his plan unless he planned it.  And if he planned it that way then it was part of the plan all along.

If skin cancer increased by 77% between 1992 and 2006, it is because he planned it that way.  Right?  Everything happens according to his plan.  Right?  IF humans can interfere with his perfect, divine plan to increase the rate of skin cancer; humans are only affecting his design.  Humans are only affecting his design the way he designed  humans could affect his design.  Which is by design.

But, by all means, the next time you go to a cancer victim's funeral and someone inevitably tells the deceased's family "everything happens according to God's plan," you make sure you ask them, "How do you know the cancer wasn't man made?"  I'm sure they will appreciate your POV.

I read all of this twice and still didn't see a reasonable point. So your logic for the non-existence of God is everything isn't perfect?
