The word "author" is one good way to consider God. The biblical texts make this same attribution on occasion. A common author of life will certainly result in the objective discovery that living creatures are of common descent, though not in the way typically deduced by evolutionists.
Thank you, but you excel, as usual, at sidestepping the point.
BOTH creation processes can be factual and true, simultaneously and with no conflict, depending only on frame of reference (internal vs. external).
