Animals have cells. Plants have cells. The makeup of animals cells are similar to the makeup of plant cells. Science says that plants, like animals, evolve. It could be argued that plants and animals had a common ancestor. Where is this common ancestor of animals AND plants? Just saying ;) Side: Yes

I don't understand how if evolution were false, that would somehow provide evidence or prove the existence of an intelligent designer. If evolution were false, it would simply mean there is an alternative naturalistic theory that better explains how we came to be here. Where is the common ancestor for plants and animals? I'll attach a link. It would appear that ricedaragh is correct. Side: No
A cell is the most basic unit of life you can get. This is why both plants and animals have cells. Yes they are similar as you say, but have very key differences. (ie: Cell wall) All of life has a common ancestor, and from that common ancestor life diverged. Plants do evolve my friend. Take, for example, your standard tree. The bark on the tree developed to protect it from bugs and fungi and it does a remarkable job. It took them a massive amount of time to be able to evolve to the point where they could bypass the tree's bark. Side: No

Let's all be honest here. Intelligent Design is just the Creationists' way of trying to subvert Supreme Court rulings and get their unsupported nonsense into science classrooms. The appearance of design is not evidence for design, folks. By Kent Hovind's own definition of science Intelligent Design (ie Creationism) is not a science. Then again by his definition Particle physics isn't either. Side: No
