I am tempted to say god, but that would depend on the nature of the god now wouldn't it? See, I have a great deal of chronic pain in both my knees and back, caused by poorly adapted foot mechanics. If I had been created by a god, then (assuming he was nice) my feet would be much better designed and would not hurt. Also, living with ADHD in a structured, industrial society would be considered a cruel joke if it had been done deliberately, and that's another problem I'd be rid of if I had been created by Mr. Fluffy Bunnies and All Things Nice (tm). Rather a nice thought really.
If, on the other hand, the god is like the one described in the Bible, who advocates stoning, human sacrifice, and demands unquestioning total fealty (he demands even more devotion than yo ugive to your own family, as depicted in the story of Abraham and Isaac and by Jesus' call to his disciples to "hate their own mother" before joining him), than I would much rather be evolved. I'll take the impartial judgement of natural selection, flawed though it may be, over the capricious mood swings of a wrathful, vain and possessive god any day.

Isaiah 8:12-13 (NIV) "Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread."
Even completely ignoring all the Abrahamic religions, there are some pretty unpleasant gods available in the global spectrum - not naming the god in question makes for a gamble I'd not care to lose.

I hate to break it to you, but we are primates. Since human populations are subject to natural selection this makes us evolved primates.
