If you were a Creationist what would be your best argument?

^ how can such cuteness arise by means of natural selection?

Yeah, because that's convincing... :lol:

Unfortunately, it's enough to scare children into developing a horrible case of religion and other mental defects and complexes

If I were a creationist, I'd probably go for genetics, in a Michael Behe-like fashion, trying to find some principal criterium that makes it impossible for a complex of genes to come about by evolution. Then, I would try to formulate a research question to trace such genetic structures and get together a team to do the work. This, I would try to publish. My goal would be to turn creationism into an actual scientific community rather than a group of frustrated individuals.

I would work by the idea that it is not about having the best argument, but being able to formulate a research program (Lakatos) and creating a competing community able to push its own paradigm (Kuhn).

No matter how silly it turns out, any fact can actually be explained within a creationist paradigm. The trick is getting the scientific community to be satisfied with the explanation.
