What's fascinating is that species were all created to look exactly as if they were descended from common ancestors. Remarkable.
We know that that's not how human designers work, because we have numerous instances of commercial food crops that are designed and engineered by humans.
All of them can instantly be identified as designed because their genomes do not conform to the rules of common descent.
Well, they would have in a manner of speaking, but from common ancestors representing *kinds* on the ark. Nobody is denying that variation within species happens. All you have to do is walk through a crowded mall at Christmastime.
It sure fits better with the sudden appearance of fully the formed species that the fossil record shows.
The label of *species* is too vague and too arbitrary to be of much use.

Exactly? Really? No differences at all eh? Are you perhaps refering to a FEW morphological/homological similarities and trying to claim they amount to ‘almost exactly’?
[[We know that that’s not how human designers work,]]
They don’t? Seems to me that an automobile has many similarities to a go-cart, but the two are entirely different KINDS
You’re reachign now JS

Hmmm- Seems to me that even the ‘closest’ man and ape have billions of genetic differences- Are you suggestign that a geneticist couldn’t tell one genome from another because they are ‘almost exactly alike’?
