1. The fossil record does not support evolution.
How so?

2. The earth is around 6,000 years old, which isn't enough time for evolution.
All geologic evidence we have ever found completely contradicts this idea. Also, we have continuous ice core layers going back 300,000 years and tree ring data going back at least 9,000 years.
What evidence do you have to explain this if the Earth is only 6,000 years old?

3. Mutations/natural selection cannot account for the life we see today.
How so?

4. There are a number of "irreducibly complex" mechanisms/organisms.
Why do you think that ID systems cannot evolve?

I know that you are going to disagree with and have rebutals for all of those, but that would be off topic, and if you could restrain yourself until the proper thread I would appreciate it.
Perhaps you can link to the threads you will begin on any or all of these topics?

Sorry, but I don't have the expertise to intelligently discuss the details of molecular genetics.
Interesting topic, though, which I will follow and hopefully learn something.
