LOL. I just posted a similar analogy using a human house and a dog house.

Great minds... :-)

I look at those examples as God using common parts for building. You can build shelves out of 2x6 pieces of wood and you can build a house out of 2x6 pieces of wood,

To reuse good prior design is a sign of a good engineer.

Not only that but if you make the analogy of the DNA to an engineers "design specifications" you will find that different design "specs" can, on the surface, look quite similar, but infact specify radically different designs.

As a design engineer myself I would generate new designs from old "specs" all the time. It was called "boiler plating". And to the untrained eye they (specs) would appear quite similar.

It was easier then redesigning (new specs) from scratch. Good engineers don't like "reinventing the wheel" so to speak.
