"Intelligent design" is a new phrase used especially by fundamentalist Protestants and especially in their anti-evolution campaigns. The concept of intelligent design actually is much older in Catholic circles, being one of St. Thomas Aquinas' five rational arguments for God's existence.
The Old Gargoyle would say, hey, we could've done worse with our human digestive system. A little imagination pictures more obvious, more unpleasant, more stinky ways it could've developed---phew. This is why the Gargoyle himself prefers to see almost all human functions, even eating, done in private. Thus he rejects invitations to dinner, and finds the darkest, loneliest corner of a cafeteria when he must eat there.
As to sanitation systems, etc., it doesn't need a Catholic scientific addressing. It needs concerned persons of all backgrounds using private or government agencies to improve human and ecological needs. Well, maybe try to mail God an occasional bill for all the mess, but I think the Big Guy at his giant computer in the sky already has his hands full running the universe.
Go, Cardinals!
