A Few Questions for Anti-Creationists.

As a Christian in the Bloggosphere, I feel like I'm always on the defensive. I guess that's just the way... the liberals/atheists/agnostics keep the conservatives/christians on the defensive so they don't have to defend their views or positions to the rest of us.
Since this is my corner of the internet, I've decided to skew the rules a little.
So, Mr. Thereisnogodyourstupid...PROVE it. Answer these questions, back them up with facts, and I will take your position seriously.
1) Please explain how you believe we came to where we are now.
2) Explain the intricacies of your own eye, and how they came to be.
3) How (Big Bangers) did it just so happen that the Earth accidentally formed at the perfect distance from her sun, with the perfect tilt on her axis to support life?
4) How can you intellectually attach yourself to the following theory...
A Scientific Answer to the Myth of Creationism (abbreviated)
by: M. Sheldon

One day, about 8.5 billion years ago, a giant star exploded, causing debris to scatter everywhere. Shortly thereafter, a rock started orbiting a very small star, and started to form a planet. Fast forward some time, and there is now water present, along with some kind of primordial ooze. Some time even later, "something" happened to this ooze which creates a single single-celled organism. Over the next several billion years, this single life form figures out a way to reproduce. Its progeny learn to change themselves into multi-celled organisms. Their offspring learn to change the very type of organism they are! All of this without brains! Eons later, here we are in all of our infinite knowledge and arrogance claiming to know for a fact that this is how it happened.

In order to intellectually attach myself to that statement, I would have to also believe this one: One day in Detroit, a factory exploded. So great was the explosion, that pieces of cars flew everywhere. Luckilly for me, I just happened to be standing there when tons of these pieces flew by, landed in a pile, and it just so happened that every piece fell into place. Every wire, every nut, bolt, piece of cloth, sheetmetal, fiberglass, and glass; every piece of rubber, plastic, iron, aluminum, and steel; every clip, and screw fell right where it belonged. The heat from the explosion just happened to create the spot welds, and the centrifugal force of the spinning stuff caused all bolts to be torqued down, every spark plug to be tight. Even the computer system inside the car was programmed by the static electricity involved in all of the cloth seats rubbing their foam pads. This is how the first Cadillac came into existance.

Yeah, sounds like BS to me, too.
