Gauntlet accepted. Here are the basic arguments, satire held as far in check as humanly possible. Feeling lazy, I will abstain from going into as much detail as I could or I'd be in stealth cretin mode all night.

  1. Evolution cannot explain irreducible complexity, defined as systems which cannot suffer the removal or disablement of a single component without loss of function.
  2. Evolution cannot explain Complex Specified Information, defined as something so obviously designed that it just has to have been designed. We can tell this by objective criteria which we have not however thus far specified without luxurious recourse to the fallacy of equivocation.
  3. Evolution cannot explain the obvious fine tuning of the universe to accomodate life. Nor does it deal with how mud puddles are always just exactly the right shape to fit in the holes without sticking up out of the ground.
Now, tell me the theory of evolution and give a quick precis of the evidence for it.

That list wasn't a mistake, BTW. Yes, ID is the only theory in history composed entirely of screeches that another theory somehow can't be right.

Nice try, but wrong. Your #1 is backwards; #2 doesn't come close; #3 is really on the edge, but not a major factor. Sorry, you obviously are more interested in satire than truth.
