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?

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.

This assumes our age calcs are good and that we have enough data points. They find new bones all the time and have to readjust their previous theories about what happened when. I am waiting for them to find a man in the same strata as a dinosaur. That will really shake them up (they would probably destroy that find).

I do not think what these scientists are doing is wrong in studying this stuff, but their conclusions seem to be greater than the evidence, and since there is no urgent necessity to believe that common ancestry is the fact of evolution, they need to do more digging and less preaching.
