What science should bear out is common ancestry among "kinds" (Whatever THAT means!) but not common ancestry between them. I say "should" only because I consider the text of Genesis as presenting a reasonable account of origins.
What exactly is a "kind"? Are lions and tigers different kinds?
I think the fossil record needs to be brought together in a more organized way to make it available to people. Now that there are software applications for the genome, they could probably be used to organize the fossil record as well.

Some viruses get different so fast it's hard to tell what they are. I was just introduced to Hepatitis G. I didn't know there was an F.
