I am a sophmore at a private school and i am in the process of writing a paper against evolution and in support of intelligent design. I would love to converse with any evolutionists or intelligent design believers who would be willing to try and prove their position to me, which will give me a good feel for what kind of arguments to refute, and which to enforce. thanks! ~ashley
in response to all of your 'is God just a prankster' arguments, He has created everything for a certain reason, although we as humans may not be able to understand just what that reason was, or the reason does not make sense to us. This does not mean, however, that God is trying to trick us into thinking something. God does not tempt, as the Bible says, only satan does. So all of these apparent arguments for an old earth and factoids which would lead one to suppose that the earth is old, are not road blocks or tricks put up by God, but are merely things which we as humans cannot comprehend.
im not sure i yet understand your ear evolution example, but i will look over it again and if i have any comments i'll post them soon. But since you brought up irreducible complexity, how would you explain the evolution of an organism such as the eye, which does not function if one part is missing? or how about the blood clotting process, or protein synthesis, where if one step is missing, the entire process falls apart?
i believe that you are wrong, nosyned. while some proponents of ID may believe in evolution, most are creationists, like myself. all the ID theory states is that the creator was not necessarily God, but was some intelligent designer.

Thank you for the suggestion, and if i had a choice i would try and write a paper in support of evolution. As it stands, however, i don't have a choice, and must write a paper either for creation or against evolution. But yes, i agree that the best way to learn about an opposing belief is to argue or write in support of it. Thanks for the suggestion anyway!
