Divine Engineering

The hypothetical process by which a supreme being designs and constructs the universe, from the grand scale of spiral galaxies down to the baffling specifics of the platypus. It's the study of the original cosmic blueprint, raising questions about the engineering choices behind things like mosquito existence, male pattern baldness, and the fact that the most delicious foods are usually the worst for you. Was it a design flaw, a feature, or just the divine equivalent of "we'll fix it in post"?
Divine Engineering Example: "Looking at the human spine, which is terrible for upright walking, one has to question the divine engineering. It's like the architect designed a beautiful building and then realized they forgot to put in a load-bearing wall. A classic rookie mistake for an omnipotent being."
