There is a lot of evidence for evolution. Where is the evidence for intelligent design? I dare somebody to provide actual evidence for ID. Not just evidence against evolution.
EDIT: Evidence for evolution: Many transitional forms of animals have been found. Particularly remarkable is the Ape-human link (NOTE: In order to not sound stupid, I must point out that humans DID NOT evolve from modern apes. Rather, the fossil record shows a very complete humanoid ancestry all the way back to the point where we branched with the chimpanzee, and perhaps even farther.) Also, it is estimated by paleontologists that less then 5% of all fossils in the ground have been found. This means that we will probably find a lot more close-to-complete strings in the future. I'm not a great speaker, and I probably left out a lot of good evidence. I'm not an evolutionary biologist.

Opening Post needs more meat
To get a thread off to a good start we usually ask for more in an OP (opening post).
In this case you could show that you've put some effort in by listing what the proponents of ID think is evidence and give your reasons for rejecting it. It will only require a few paragrpahs to get things going.

I think we need an ID advocate to start a topic like this
Message 1 got edited, but not in the way AdminNosy wanted.
I just don't see this working as a new topic. Rejected and closed.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Message 150
