In most cases the errors found in the human genome are notlinked to nor are required in any way for the functionality of the "working" parts.

And in most cases errors found in software are not required in any way for the functionality of the "working" parts. Usually they're just bugs.

This sounds more reasonable to me, and would be consistent with a common ancestor and shared errors observed. But it is no more falsifiable than the theory that angels guide the planets around the sun in addition to the natural gravitational forces.

Oh, absolutely. That's why I have said I'm not pushing a theory. The main difference between me and the pro evolution (non intelligent design) folks is that I recognize and assert that NEITHER is falsifiable, while they ignore that standard evolutionary theory is no stronger than intelligent design, but assert the one over the other as "proved".

Why would a designer purposefully carry over obvious bugs to other designs if they are in no way tied to anything useful?

No, maybe I missed it. but how is TOE NOT falsifiable? We already covered common descent. The DNA evidence would not backup the tree of life. Fossils found in the completely wrong order would also do it. Or if the earth was found to be significantly less than 4 bil years.

You are tacking on superficial supernatural explanations..well those I am afraid cannot be falsified. You are entitled to believe what you wish.
