I respectfully submit that you've been misinformed

I actually read some of it. They author admits common descent is a hypothesis like abiogenesis. The problem I have with his logic is that it states basically that all life is similar in design so it came from one species.

But it is still possible that we all had basically the same design but were created at the same time. And the only way they can prove the point is from a lot of historically dug up stuff, a totally different place from where the evidence of microevolution comes from, transitional species, seawater hogs, timelines, etc.

It becomes essentially a self-fulfilling prophecy which begs the original question.

But it is still possible that we all had basically the same design but were created at the same time.

If everything were created at the same time, we would find: (a) all fossils would have the same age, but they don't; and (b) all geological rock strata would contain pretty much every variety of living thing, but they don't.

And the only way they can prove the point is from a lot of historically dug up stuff, a totally different place from where the evidence of microevolution comes from, transitional species, seawater hogs, timelines, etc.

Yeah, so? That's the evidence we have. Do you suggest that it should be ignored?
