==The questions==
These questions remind me of an exchange from ''My Cousin Vinny'' (1992):
<div style="border: 2px solid red; background-color: #FFCCCC; margin: 10px">
D.A. Jim Trotter:Now, uh, Ms. Vito, being an expert on general automotive knowledge, can you tell me... what would the correct ignition timing be on a 1955 Bel Air Chevrolet, with a 327 cubic-inch engine and a four-barrel carburetor?
Mona Lisa Vito: It's a [BS] question.
D.A. Jim Trotter: Does that mean that you can't answer it?
Mona Lisa Vito: It's a [BS] question, it's impossible to answer.
D.A. Jim Trotter: Impossible because you don't know the answer!
Mona Lisa Vito: Nobody could answer that question!
D.A. Jim Trotter: Your Honor, I move to disqualify Ms. Vito as a "expert witness"!
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Can you answer the question?
Mona Lisa Vito: No, it is a trick question!
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Why is it a trick question?
Vinny Gambini: [to Bill] Watch this.
Mona Lisa Vito: 'Cause Chevy didn't make a 327 in '55, the 327 didn't come out till '62. And it wasn't offered in the Bel Air with a four-barrel carb till '64. However, in 1964, the correct ignition timing would be four degrees before top-dead-center.
D.A. Jim Trotter: Well... um... she's acceptable, Your Honor.

;How did life originate? How did life with hundreds of proteins originate just by chemistry without intelligent design?

:Properly speaking (and regardless of the opinions of some scientists), what we commonly understand to be the theory of evolution concerns itself with how life changed once the first life forms came into existence. Abiogenesis is separate and distinct from evolution.
;How did the DNA code originate? The code is a sophisticated language system with letters and words where the meaning of the words is unrelated to the chemical properties of the letters—just as the information on this page is not a product of the chemical properties of the ink (or pixels on a screen). What other coding system has existed without intelligent design?
