If we look at it as a metaphor for the taking of contributions from the faithful and the exuding of exhortations from the pulpit, I suppose one could say Yes...
Oh I said years ago that the first time a church is caught using a widow's donations to flower up a church festival or pay for landscaping the whole thing should be shut down. Oral Roberts, Jerry Falwell, Billy Graham and Jimmy Swaggerty et.al. have/had to live in gated communities with $150,000 security systems around their homes while those who support it barely get by. The least which needs to be undone is the tax free status.

It is God's might

As it has been explained in a previous post that has been deleted by a moderator [may God delete the wrong-doer!]:
I said such diversity and arrangement from the simplest to the most complex organism, is not because of the evolution, but according to God's might and ability: so that He creates that which does not come to the mind of man:
i.e. there isn’t any creature imagined by any man, but we find it created by God and more than what we imagine.

Add to that the subtle effect of gravity over millions of years which governed the flow of fluids and other waste products "downstream" and VOILA!! If you would like another little tidbit of wisdom to add to that...the reproductive organs which must also accomodate a flow of liquid are located within a few centimeters of the port for waste evacuation.

If you disagree with my premise and if you believe there is a god in whose image we were created...does god also have to take in nutrition and exude waste on a daily basis?
About what you said concerning the food and the waste product: it is the criteria of all living organisms created by God Almighty Who created everything in the universe even though the disbeliever denies it.

The creatures do eat the food and excrete the excreta; but God does not eat and none feeds Him.

As in the Quran 6: 14
قُلْ أَغَيْرَ اللّهِ أَتَّخِذُ وَلِيًّا فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَهُوَ يُطْعِمُ وَلاَ يُطْعَمُ

The explanation:
(Say [O Mohammed, to the unbelievers]: "Shall I take to myself as protector, [anyone] other than God, the Splitter of the heavens and the earth [after being one piece], Who feeds [all these creatures] and is never fed [because He does not need food?]")

But it is one of the arguments against the Messiah being any god or son of God; that is because any organism eating food, he must evacuate excreta; therefore neither Jesus nor his mother are any gods, but they are human beings.

As in the Quran 5: 75
مَّا الْمَسِيحُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ إِلاَّ رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ وَأُمُّهُ صِدِّيقَةٌ كَانَا يَأْكُلاَنِ الطَّعَامَ انظُرْ كَيْفَ نُبَيِّنُ لَهُمُ الآيَاتِ ثُمَّ انظُرْ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ

The explanation:
(The Messiah, son of Mary, was only a messenger, messengers before him passed away [so why do you glorify him alone, excluding others?]

His mother was a true believer [in the Ten Commandments of her Lord]; [the Messiah and his mother] both ate food [and anyone eats food, has to relieve nature, therefore how could they be gods?]

See [Mohammed] how We make clear the revelations to them; then see how perverted they are [away from the truth!])

Wow,,,...Some people keep sighting Natural selection...and what is evolutionary and natural?

Least they know they are unnatural in their own muse.

Do you see any other creature on this Earth, that builds garbage, and pollutes with industry?
Do you see them using Idols, and living in luxury, and using wealth in engraven monitary form?
Do other creatures make devices that burn their dead blood to move, whist adding to the detramental aspects of pollution of their own kind, and all the others?
Do you see the other life, subjecting and debasing all other life to a subservant of themselves?
And Do we see the other life (Natural) waging wars on eachother constantly to create death, and not a natural fight...a fight with weapons of mass destruction?

So evolution is bad human standards, dependant on Devices, and Idolatry...it seems...and they claim this unnatural detramental living enviroment they are creating is evolutionary?

WOW...If as it is said there is no God..(and I can't see why) then there certainly should be something powerful enough to knock us off our pedistile we put ourselves on as a race of disgrace and shame!!!

But that is my opinion...

Some say it will not change the facts...."The Facts are" Educated Humans are stupid, and detramental to the natural eco system, and all life on this Planet...and probably anyother!

No wonder they fear us finding the tree of life...and becoming eternal...The mindlessness of making constant death, sickness, and suffering, for profits and gains that goes to our own ruin is outragiously insane!...and it continues on!!!
And everyone is supporting it...and using it, and doing it!

And they say education helps us?

Be well!!
Be Good!!
Be perfect???
God bless!

Kinda like the U S using 25% of all the resources in the world while nearly a billion, mostly children by default, starve to death or suffer from the complications of malnutrition.

We buy oil from the middle east where at least a portion of the profits there go to assist Al Queda in their holy war against us then every time some suicide bomber either wipes out a couple of dozen innocents or dies trying it makes all of our cable and network news for two or three days.

We are surely turning into a piece of work.

It is your words that are meandering and some sort of crookedness.

No of course; evolution implies that and moreover claim such things take place spontaneously without the Creator.

While we say: such marvelous creation is certainly done by God - be glorified. We say: the duck has been created with webs in its feet to serve the swimming purpose, while the chicken paws serve scratching the ground for searching after worms.

This is done by a Wise Creator, not by gradual evolution as do they claim.

Yes the mindlessness of it all....and now dead blood spewing forth unmixed, or should I say pure, into the waters of life...Says something about that in the Bible, about God's wrath being unmixed and pure, that is going to wipe us out, if we do not listen to reason, logics, and use our knowledge to better this world...instead of destroying it for profits and gains ...

It also says in the Bible..."The wages of sin is death"
Could also be translated into "The sin of wages is death" that would go in keeping with Jesus's plight about the engraven imaged IDOL...kicking the money out of his fathers house!
Telling them to give it back to Caesar and hold it no longer in any regards!!!
The first and second commandments...and Mathew 6:24.
Knowing the Givens by God helps us to understand the natural aspects we should be taking, but are not, because it doesn't profit us????...when we read Genesis 2:15, and we use Genesis 9:3 as our guide to making paradise for free!
This system of industrial madness is like a blight on the world...

When are people Going to wake up and start sharing Like God?

ABout Al queda...Bin Ladden is a US prodigy!
Paid for by the US Taxpayer....Given weapons, and trainning..and freedom to do as he pleases!!...and now being used as reason to wage war in other nations on earth, so more bent democracies are born under the IDOL of ENGRAVEN IMAGED DEBASED VALUE SYSTEM...look it even lies, as the engraved value is not the real value of it in these systems!

Are they going after Bin Ladden?...No...they are killing Talaban and Afghani People!
Just Like the Iraqi war on Saddam...no weapons of mass destruction found....that was the reason eh?...Yah yah more lies...now they say : Bad intelligence?....surely!...they proclaim it...humans are stupid!

Debt is used to keep people using the Idol or trying to pay debt off for generations to come....So we never really get out of this mess...and our children are also now tied to it, and any future children to be born under it.
This ensures the continued us of it...

And the oddest thing I have witnessed is the prohibition of certain plants...They claim are detramental to humans?
When they got Nuclear bombs pointed at every city and nation, and nuclear waste right next door to the play grounds...
Posion on the crops, and in the cans, and genetically modified foods on the shelves!!!

Funny bunch of coconuts we have running the showcase show down...eh?

And we support this?
Do we really support murderers (Troops) who protect this lifestyle?
They claim freedom...yet they do not see their own destruction by it?

Again intelligence is not being used on this planet by Humankind...wonder why?
