How can we reconcile the argument of intelligent design with supposed design flaws?

[Aloysium]

Do you love your family? Could you be happy knowing that they are being horribly tortured and suffering in ghastly pain? No, I suspect not. Since Christians are told to love their neighbour, then everyone in hell is every Christian’s neighbour. People you love are being tortured. You are forever separated from those people you love as they suffer.

Are you happy?

“where” is a wrongly put question. You are asking for a description of nirvana, and all descriptions of nirvana are incorrect.

If one is interested in knowing the truth, one listens.
Consider the possibility that Buddha caught a glimpse of heaven.
All descriptions of Nirvana are not incorrect; they are descriptions.
As such they signify, they point to the Reality.
Do not pretend to understand heaven.
I must say that you are a poor apologist for Buddhism.
You actually sound like an atheist in Buddhist clothing.

Consider the possibility that Buddha caught a glimpse of heaven.

The Buddha attained enlightenment at age 35. He died age 80. For 45 years he was simultaneously living in the world and in nirvana. Is that possible with the Christian heaven?

All descriptions of Nirvana are not incorrect; they are descriptions.

All descriptions of swimming are incorrect; they are nothing like actually getting in the water and swimming. Swimming is something that is experienced. Similarly nirvana is something to experience.

The moderator will soon end the dispute at this site at ~1,000 posts. But the argument will not be settled until the conversion of atheists and fideists – the former having no faith and the latter only faith.
