Theist: "well...everything LOOKS designed!   Duhhhh.  I mean, it's obvious.  We were designed." 
That one kills me as well. Nothing about this planet or life on it looks designed.

Yeah, I agree. I realized how irrational it is to even consider intelligent design once I learned just the basics of natural selection. It reminds me of an example a member here used once (paraphrasing): "It's like looking at a puddle in the road and saying, 'how amazing that water was perfectly designed to fit into that hole!"
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.
