Is it a surprise that the argument is wrong?

I spent a few years on alt.atheism and friends, and without exception every last argument I saw against evolution showed some basic misunderstanding of biology, general science, math, or a combination of the above.

I used to have a great essay, A Priori vs A Posteriori (or something like that) on alt.atheism I pointed people at for most of the statistical arguments. I used the copy on dejanews, but they are fubarred at the moment. If anyone can find it I would appreciate it.

And yes, this is seriously OT for this site. Anyone with an interest in this should go to talk.origins and hash it out there. Or visit their website and learn some of the basics.

EDIT
A friend of mine just found it for me. Here is a copy. :-)

Basically after a lot of math, the point is that the argument by design will only be convincing to people who already have some belief in God...
