If you're modeling anything else, it's just a coincidence the data fits evolution.

But it's not a coincidence. The trees are based on the data.

But it's not a coincidence. The trees are based on the data.

Evolution was built upon a fraction of the data we have now. For all that, yes, it remains the theory that the evidence built.

We have a thousand times the data that Darwin had and it all still fits the evolutionary pattern. That's no coincidence, either. It still looks like common descent because that's what it is.
