Improbability doesn’t convince die-hard evolutionists to abandon their view. As a Christian, I prefer deductions (as in geometry proofs) to counter evolution.

For the probability of evolution, have you read Perry Marshall's Evolution 2.0? In short, he rejects Random Evolutionism, and Intelligent Design, and postulates Intelligent Evolution, God having top-loaded intelligence into the basic cell of life to go forth and evolve. IE is great for underling weaknesses to RE, but fails to satisfy me by postulating punctuated interventions by deity. For my money it's IE for a scientific explanation based on the premise that life cannot have been kickstarted by mere universal randomness.
 
Some IDers actually use the "front-loaded" argument for God creating a universe that will carry out His will. There's good reason to think so; His word that the earth brought forth living things, for example. Since evolution is observed every day, I think that AIG has confused "evolution" and "common descent"; it wouldn't be the first time they did that.
 
Eh, this is about what I expected from AIG. If you start with a conclusion then dissmiss any evidence that doesn't aline with that conclusion, you are not doing deductive reasoning.

Deductive reasoning is where a person builds off of already established truths. If an Apple falls from a tree, and an Apple has always fallen when observed, it's deductive to assume an apple will fall if not supported.

Creation science always has the problem of not building off of established truths.
If we wanted to establish the phenomenon of organisms changing and adapting through generations, we need a mechanic to explain how it's happening.


That is the real reason Evolutionary Theory isn't abandoned, no solid theory has been able to replace the current evidence.

That was why Perry Marshall abandoned Creationism as defined by ID. He argued that evolution is observable in real time, that uncreated code is essential throughout the whole process, and gets some knocks by IDers. It's only the old randomness idea added to evolution which Perry denied any science basis to.

I don't really have many issues with old earth creationists. I'm not sure what code specificly is being addresses. I'll have to read his work.
