Indicating the same designer, not the same ancestor.

Perhaps you can explain why a designer would put the same errors in related species.

Perhaps you can explain why a designer would put the same errors in related species.

Especially why a designer postulated to be omniscient and omnipotent would choose to do so.

David Plaisted does a pretty good job on the link you gave me. But I tend to believe this:

Who said the designer put the error in there? The designer did not design things so that they would die. His creation was VERY GOOD. Then, man decided he wanted to be god and screwed up the works. God warned them, on the day you eat, you shall surely die, and truly spiritually man died that day, but physically he began to degenerate and get sick too. The Bible says the animals suffered under the same curse. Why? I don't know, other than a perfect world was suddenly made imperfect by Man's sin.

Incidentally, He's coming back and when He does He is going to make everything back the way it was, perfect. Of course, to enjoy this, You have to acknowledge Him as God the Savior.
