David: Much as the ID folks don't like it, I think common descent must be accepted.

> Tony: Not until I see an example of once species evolving into another. It wouldn't even have to be major! Show me a species innovating a single "new" organ that it didn't have before in some capacity. (Just so it is a clear cut case of new information, not merely adapting old information). -It is difficult to avoid the knowledge that the layers from old to new contain advancing forms of life, based on the orginal DNA with comparative anatomy rampant. there is a plan and everything follows it. Five digits everywhere. Legs with one bone above and two bones below.

> >David: DNA was there at the beginning, but it appears that the many layered genomic controls must have been there also, which means, to me, that common descent was a controlled event from the beginning, with open-ended experimentation to create the huge forest-like bush we see. Life is extremely inventive in solving problems. It was always meant to be that way.

> If you were talking about the wide variety of breeds within a given family of a species, I would be in complete agreement with you. I think we often overlook just how much variety there is inside of a single species. Take dogs for example. There are hundreds of breeds, but they are all still dogs.-Humans made all those dog varieties. And dogs can still cross breed with wolves, their ancestors. Intensive line breeding broke out those varileties.

> >David: The intelligence of the genome is information built into the genome, and that information must be initially supplied by an intelligent mind. -> 
> Tony; It is a truly beautiful and wonderful thing. I wish more people understood enough about it to appreciate just how "Fearfully and wonderfully made" we are.-And our mind is just a remnant, a smidgen of the original. 
> 
> Tony: Psalms 139:14 "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.-We can only know God through His works. There is no direct evidence, because He wants it that way.
