False Dichotomy as already pointed out. In between asexual and sexual is somthing capable of both.

2) Galaxies
This is one of the very interesting and fascinating active areas of astrophyics right now. But the theory of a universe younger than 10000 years offers many, many, many more problems than a class of matter we have yet to characterize.

3) Snakes and Humans
Will you believe anything from anyone if it supports your cause? Maybe next you will ask us to refute your friend who personally speaks to god by lighting his chest hair on fire. (Argument 2 really is this ridiculous.)

4) Carbon-based life
Are you saying that all life on earth being similar in some way is an argument against evolution and for creation??? I'm confused. This argument seems to go the other way.

Again, false dichotomy, but let's assume for a minute that there are two theories: Dark matter vs. Young Galaxies. In an intellectually honest way, please describe what you feel are potential problems with both theories. Do you really feel that a young galaxies theory solves more problems than it creates? Please think about it earnestly before you reply. Familiarize yourself with why astrophysicists think that galaxies are billions of years old and make sure your young galaxy theory can account for any discrepancies.

I agree. Statistically, it is quite possilbe for life to exist elsewhere in the universe. But you've failed to explain why this requires an Intelligent Designer.
If you are going down the ID road, be ready for the problem of inifinite regression. i.e. who designed the designer?
