This really doesn't do a good job of addressing tghe fundamental flaw in the argument, I'll admit, but it's great at taking the wind out of creationist sails.
We've all heared the argument "Evolution says we're descended from monkeys. Do you want to come from a monkey?". Given that pointing out the fact that evolution does not say this doesn't work, and that pointing out that desire does not change truth is generally ignored, I propose a different tack, largely cribbed from the Cryptonomicon:
Evolution says we're supreme badasses. We are descended from a long line of slightly-less-badass critters, all of whom were at least badass enough to not only survive an inherently hostile environment, but thrive in it to the point where we became the dominant life.
Now, do you want to be a coddled Daddy's boy... or a supreme badass?

Hell yeah. We're some goddamn badass creatures, descended from slightly less badass monkeys, which descended from slightly less badass (but still badass) squirrels, which descended from badass reptiles (not as badass as the squirrels), which descended from badass amphibians (less badass than the reptiles), which descended from still less badass fish, which descended from semi-badass worms, which descended from multicellular organisms that didn't even have an a**.
But the point is, evolution is the process of becoming more badass with time.

I agree with the creator of this topic and the Malkuth, because we are so totally badass. 3nodding \m/--\m/

Not nessarily badassery.
But... every single one of your countless ancestors has survived and reproduced.
Which makes you a real failure if you don't.
