Personally, I thought evolution through natural selection was pretty intuitive and obvious, given the previous instruction on how DNA and chromosomes worked. If everything changed a little bit, and only the good changes stayed, then they'd all stack up and constitute a big change!
DNA and chromosomes were pretty unintuitive, but we have pictures of those, so that helped.
Also, I think Occam's razor applies even if you're a young person who hasn't heard of it yet: with no previous knowledge on the subject, I am wont to accept the simplest explanation that doesn't contradict reality without much skepticism.
