...since many of the things we take for granted are actually highly complex even in their simplest forms, thus making it necessary that it "evolved" all at once, perfectly working the very first time.

I have heard this described as "irreducible complexity", that, for instance, the blood clotting process has to work perfectly the first time or it kills the host. It really cannot evolve into the blood clotting process.

Oh yes, Behe's argument that blood clotting is irreducibly complex. Except that it isn't. Simpler blood clotting mechanisms do exist all over the place. It could evolve and it did evolve.
