What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?

Our thoughts do not come from random electrical impulses in the brain. Neither did our bodies come about by random acts of nature. It was designed just like a Boeing 747. Nature had billions of years to design a 747, but it didn't. Our bodies are much more complicated than a 747. There is a big problem with nature did it.

Rather than simply conclude that life is to complex to have arisen from natural processes, why don't you look at the specific parts of the theory which explain how such complexity can come about?

I could point to a 747 flying in the sky and say, "Look, that disproves gravity."

And if someone were to approach me and say, "A 747 flying in the sky does not disprove gravity. You're oversimplifying things. There are a number of forces at work that you are not taking into account," and my response was to simply point at the 747 again and say, "Look that disproves gravity"... well... that would be a lot like what you are doing.

Stop pointing at the 747. It's not a good argument.
