The eyeball objection resonates with me. How anyone can believe that billions of random genetic accidents could add up to a functioning eyeball ( even given 4.3 billion years ) is beyond me.

If there were an incremental design process, I might too. But if there is not, well, there is no reason to suppose anything much will come of sickle cell anemia. Again, I notice that you say "in the absence of medicine and mosquito control", as if the variations were responsive to environmental pressures, rather than random. There might well be the incidental development of a human sub-population resistant to malaria that never comes near being infected, in which case the maladaptive trait has no long term use, it just kills people.
