First off, I do believe in evolution, and I'm not Christian. My intention here is to raise the bar with these arguments. I've had a lot of stupid arguments over the years with Creationists that had no real scientific basis. However, a Christian friend of mine who was a former astronomy student actually had a few good ones.
1. Interdependent Systems. The human eye and the bombardier beetle are the classic examples. Still not a rock solid argument, but tons better then, "Cause God did it."
2. (The really good one) Stellar Life Cycles. According to the dude, our sun was in a different state when evolution is said to have started. It was giving off much less energy, and, according to him, could not have supported life on Earth. I suspect that it probably just supported much less life on Earth, and when it got to it's current state, there was probably a corresponding 'boom' in life on earth. But, I really can't back that up.
