Stephen Bratteng, a biology teacher at Westwood High School in Austin put this together. I got the list from him when I heard him testify in favor of solid science in biology textbooks, in hearings before the Texas State Board of Education in 2003:
1. Why does giving vitamin and mineral supplements to undernourished anemic individuals cause so many of them to die of bacterial infections?
2. Why did Dr. Heimlich have to develop a maneuver to dislodge food particles from people’s wind pipes?
3. Why does each of your eyes have a blind spot and strong a tendency toward retinal detachment? But a squid whose eyesight is just as sharp does not have these flaws?
4. Why are depression and obesity at epidemic levels in the United States?
5. When Europeans came to the Americas, why did 90 percent of the Native Americans die of European diseases but not many Europeans died of American diseases?
6. Why do pregnant women get morning sickness?
7. Why do people in industrialized countries have a greater tendency to get Crohn’s disease and asthma?
8. Why does malaria still kill over a million people each year?
9. Why are so many of the product Depends sold each year?
10. Why do people given anti-diarrheal medication take twice as long to recover from dysentery as untreated ones?
11. Why do people of European descent have a fairly high frequency of an allele that can make them resistant to HIV infection?
12. Why do older men often have urinary problems?
13. And why do so many people in Austin get cedar fever?

Well there you go. One of the best arguments for evolution is the obvious evidence that many features are the way they are because they got there by small, incremental changes, rather than top down design.
Bottom line: just because your opponents say idiotic things, doesn't mean that you cannot also say idiotic things.
Just to make the point more rationally: the fact that undeniably designed things eventually wear out, does not alter the fact that they were designed.
What about summer?
Bald heads do have an advantage, being bald allows you to make more Vitamin D, which means stronger bones to stay fit longer and live longer to make more babies.
And who said it has to be an either/or question in the first place?
There is no reason that both ideas can’t coexist.
Believe what you want you’ll find out in the end or not.
Where is the center of the surface of a sphere?
8. Why does malaria still kill over a million people each year?
Dr. Michael Behe has a good extended discussion of malaria in The Edge of Evolution that underscores the fact that evolution can only produce trivial changes. Malaria and attempts (natural and engineered) to fight it present an excellent case study in understanding what evolution can and cannot do. It is clear that the malaria pathogen itself is a designed organism. It's just minor features within the genome that are varying to produce various features such as antibiotic resistance, and that generally due to degeneration of a design feature.
Of course, it's not like evolutionists actually asked their opposition about this list before publishing it. They just make things up and imagine it must be so. Sigh...
So I guess his point was that God should have created a perfect universe instead of one with flaws.
I am no huge fan of ID, but philosophically this guy’s argument is garbage.
I think that’s a pretty good definition. Maybe more specifically, it’s generally only applied to organisms, although examples used to support the idea that design is detectable are taken from other areas. How would you define it?
OK but they probably went bald after they got married ... unless they have lots of money ..... :)
Trick question? Wouldn't any point on the surface of a sphere be an equally valid center?
No it's not.
That's exactly what it is, in technical terms. Anyone can read the leading works like Dembski's The Design Inference to see this is bluntly the case. People need to understand that opposition to ID is literally a denial of the existence of engineers and factories. And there are plenty of in-context quotes from Darwinian fundamentalists that, applied consistently, prove this.
Someday some rogue scientist is going to engineer a pathogen and release it. And the NAS and other evolutionary fundamentalist organizations are going to quickly declare that it is illegitimate to believe the organism was modified by an UNKNOWN INTELLIGENT DESIGNER, because that would be "religion." At least, that would be the case if they are consistent.
I don't argue that the earth is the center of the universe but you argue the proposition that "the earth is not the center of the universe" but you give no answer where it is.
Here is an illustration of the above statement:
What if it even included a manual on how it was made?
How do you know that the Designer can’t answer these?
Number 16. If we evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
There are creationists posters on FR who insist that the Sun circles the Earth.
I can direct you to several threads if you doubt this.
If Americans came from Europeans, why are there still Europeans?
