I'll pick out a few choice ones.
"Animals flee to high ground before a deadly tsunami hits their shoreline, defying any plausible materialistic explanation"
Animals do not always flee to higher ground before a tsunami hits, plenty of animals were killed in the recent disasters. Many also have far better senses than we do.
"Evolution cannot explain how beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if evolution said that beauty were useful then we would all expect to see the same things as beautiful."
This is absolutely asinine, not to mention subjective.
"Evolution does not account for the immense amount of information in the genome, as well as the origin of the information-processing systems in the cell. Information always has a sender, who must be God in this case."
"Information" is not defined as having any scientific meaning. Furthermore, it doesn't HAVE to be God in the Judeo-Christian sense or even one single god. It could just as easily be any other god or collection of gods.
"Jellyfish in Hawaii swarm to the beaches roughly 9 to 10 days after each full moon, for no apparent evolutionary reason"
They swarm around the time of a full moon. A full moon means more light and usually blooms of phytoplankton that the jellyfish's(in this case box jellyfish) prey feed on. There is a perfectly plausible explanation.
"Lack of any vestigial organs in the human body. While evolutionists used to claim dozens or even hundreds of human traits and organs were vestigial, useless items disused through evolution, we now know what functions they all have, including the appendix (the classic example)."
There are dozens of examples of vestigial traits and organs in the human body.
"Pterosaurs; a scientist recently stated that they could not have flown, but why then did they evolve wings?[32]"
The citation for this is an un-sourced one paragraph entry on a website.
All this took maybe five minutes to put together. The list is atrociously bad and needs to be either paired down severely by someone with actual knowledge of the biological world or, as I would reccomend, deleted entirely.----~~
