This is the argument from incredulity, which is what ID essentially boils down to: you don't believe it could have evolved, so it must have been brought into existence by God.
The old "argument from incredulity" dodge. Mightn't you all come up with a new dodge which isn't a false accusation?

One, we need to look at the first life at its most basic. Self-replicating molecules. Second, we can see that life has changed over millions of years, and that the earliest organisms were simple compared to many that exist now. If God created everything at the same time, then why would he produce the illusion of it evolving over time, and why would he sort it in the fossil record for us? Is he having a joke?
Redefining life? How convincing is this? If I apply your definition of 'life' and LinearAQ's def. of 'self-replicating molecules', diamonds are alive. What kind of science is that?

And the source of your illusion is the topic of this thread. Please give credit where credit is due.

Third, why should creationism be the default explanation for everything that seems improbable to someone?
Who said it should?

If you're tired of hearing these things CTD, then try listening to them so I don't have to keep repeating them to you.
Say again? Just kidding. I'm immune to your mantras and chants. If there's any unaccounted-for non-circular evidence, please present it in the appropriate thread.
