David: It is difficult to avoid intelligent design:

Comment: The two items that stick in the craw of Darwinism are reproduction and consciousness, Neither are explained by chance evolution. The last objection is my bolded sentence. How does natural selection select an organ unless it is functional to begin with? The only answer is an intelligent designer running the show.

Biology Student 1. Let's not forget abiogenesis.

Evolutionist Professor(Ticking off on his fingers,):Ok, so aside from reproduction, consciousness, and abiogenesis, what has evolution not been able to deal with?

Biology Student 2: Um.. speciation.

Evolutionist Professor: Right, well of course speciation. Duh. Pfhht. But excluding reproduction, consciousness,abiogenesis, and speciation, what can't evolution account for?

Biology Student 3. Lack of transitional forms in the fossil record?

Evolutionist Professor: Fair enough. I forgot about that one. Good point, but except for the reproduction, consciousness, abiogenesis, speciation, and lack of fossils, what can't evolution explain?

Biology Student 4: The increase in informational complexity?

Evolutionist Professor: Right..well of course it really shouldn't do that. It's a bit of a problem honestly. So, not taking into account reproduction, consciousness, abiogenesis, speciation, the fossil record, or the increase in information, what can't evolution explain?

Biology Student 5: The 'conservation' of genetic sequences across species whose 'most recent common ancestor' could not have possessed.

Evolutionist Professor: Bloody 'trans-species genetic conservation...' had to lie about that one a lot. A REAALL humdinger that one. But aside from reproduction, consciousness, abiogenesis, speciation, fossil record, informational increase, or genetic conservation, WHAT CAN'T EVOLUTION EXPLAIN?

Answer: How to advance complexity without a designer in charge?
