A friend and I were walking on the beach one day and came upon an intricate sand castle. He said "Wow, look at that sand castle! Someone really put some time and effort into that!" I said (sarcastically) "Someone??? What do you mean someone? I don't see anyone else here? It must have been created by the 'natural' motion of the waves and wind interacting with the sand." He said "Are you nuts??? This is no 'accident'! It is obviously of intelligent design!" I insisted "But we saw no one! We have NO PROOF that someone did it; therefore, we MUST ASSUME as FACT that it 'just happened'; otherwise, we're making a 'leap of faith'. He then said "Oh, puh-lease, it takes much more 'faith' to believe that it occurred by accident than by the hands of an intelligent being!" I said "Really? What is of more complex design? This sand castle or the universe???" He replied "Well, DUH, obviously the universe!", to which I rendered him speechless with the following: "You are exactly right. If it is impossible for this sand castle to have happened by accident, how much more impossible is it that mankind and the universe is an accident? Isn't it an ABSURD leap of faith to assume that we are all here and the universe exists by 'natural selection'???" A little something for the evolutionists to ponder.

Can't you even come up with something original?
