Your question is so loaded it is bursting at the seams.
What qualifies as "messed up?" Having a design that appears suboptimal?
What would be not-messed-up, or what would be perfect? Having vision equivalent to a hawk? A telescope?
Why do you assume a creator being would necessarily choose to make perfect things? What if creating perfect things was not the creator's purpose? What if its creation was perfect for its intended purpose?
If a supernatural being exists and created the universe and us, it's ludicrous to think that we could put ourselves in its place and say, "Well, obviously he should have done it like this instead, therefore he doesn't exist."
We can't even understand how our own brain works, but some of us think that we are smarter than God. Regardless of what you believe about the existence of a supernatural creator, it's obvious that we would be inferior to such a being.

If you refuse us the right to make any claims about a god, you also refuse the right to make any arguments for it. Obviously, ars was talking about the gods mentioned in popular religious texts. These texts make very specific claims about what their gods are and do. Arguing about arbitrary gods is, of course, largely fruitless. However, belief in them is equally fruitless.
