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

That the quoted material was written either by people pretending to be scientists, or by scientists whose religious beliefs are more important to them than their work, or by scientists working in something other than biology.  In all three cases, I have no respect for them and can also dismiss their entire argument as an elaborate argument-from-incredulity logical fallacy.

I have seen sufficient information, and in one case an actual cell culture, that leads me to believe that evolution is actually happening and is the best current explanation for the wide diversity of organisms on this planet.

I have never in all of my sixty years seen one piece of evidence sufficient to convince me that gods -- any gods at all -- were real.  As far as I'm concerned, until we have testable empirical evidence of a sentient being capable of creating life forms, intelligent design is dead in the water and fit only to be laughed at.

You have stated why you believe this logic is flawed, but your reasoning is subjective. Do you have a good reason to believe that the probability is wrong. If so I would like to hear it.
