I'm sorry, I'm afraid you're going to have to substantiate this by showing that the evolutionary tree is unreasonable on the face of it. Otherwise it just looks like you're faulting the scientists for being logical and consistent.

Again, you miss the point. It does not matter whether the tree is reasonable or unreasonable(how do you determine that?), since it is the pre-determined target. It is like answering, "How do I get rich?", with "First, you start out with a million dollars."
