==But it would have to have been done in a manner such that it would fool people into believing in common descent of species.

It’s quite the other way around. The Evos have fooled themselves into believing that nested hierarchies are the product of RM + NS, even though man, who is made in God’s image, routinely DESIGNS using nested hierarchies.

==The same patterns we see forming in divergent populations of known common ancestry are the same pattern we see in different species of likely common ancestry.

Again, what of it? If God created using modular designs, then we would expect that morphologically similar organisms would have similar modular design components that are what the Evos call “conserved.” However, creation also explains why non-conserved regions are functional, whereas neo-Darwinian evolution does not. Like I said, creation is the far superior explanation, hands down.

I am not saying God could not have created all animals with a pattern of similarity and divergence such that they would look exactly like they were related by common descent.

I am saying that the only conceivable reason for God to do so would be to try to fool people into thinking species were related by common descent.

A different disabling mutation on any of the primates might have disabused us of the idea that it was the same disabling mutation in a common primate ancestor. Any disabling mutation would work just as well to making primates unable to synthesize their own vitamin C. Why that particular mutation in all primates?

Why the pattern of presence of absence as well as similarity and divergence of Endogenous retroviral sequences such that they would exactly comport to their being incorporated in a common ancestor and diverging at the neutral mutation rate from that point on?

Why would God make chimp and human DNA the most similar among all primates? Just to make you look like a fool when you claim that the reality that God created is a “logical impossibility”?
