In a sunday schooling class I had a long time ago, a classmate of mine once stated that people were too perfect for everything to be an accident. And it wasn't just people. To him, nature was too wonderous to not have a creator.
Romans 1:20 "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
The simple fact of how things look the way they do, how humans look like humans and leaves look like leaves is evidence for intelligent design.
I look out my window and I see people walking, some in pairs, around while others sitting beneath trees reading. I see trees with green leaves and birds flying among blossoming flowers. I look up and I see little patches of white clouds drifting across the blue sky with the sun shining everywhere.
Most importantly, I see individual humans having legs to walk around, having arms and hands to work and build things, having eyes to see and ears to hear, having minds to learn, grow, and dream, having mouths to eat and talk, etc.
Coincidence that everything I described, and more!, fit so well together on this world?
To quote a preacher I once listened to, "scientists and professors may have a lot of facts, but I see no wisdom in them." While they see a process driven in part by randomness and godlessness, others see a creator behind all of these wonders.
Job 12:7-11 "But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food?
I think it is obvious where I want this to go.

Troy s simple evidence...
Woah, dude. You really freak me out sometimes. One minute you are the rational and detached scientist...now you are actually presenting a great opening post for I.D. I know that you want a debate to form out of this, so I ask you in all honesty:
Where do YOU want this post to go?
And are you fishing for innocent fundies to bludgeon with your logic?
