Proving common descent (Introduction)

dhw: My hypothesis is a suggestion that might solve this key problem along with others thrown up by conventional Darwinism. ......Meanwhile, which sounds more feasible to you: 1) chance mutations creating legs, jaws, brains; 2) God going through a purple patch in his hands-on creativity; 3) existing organisms (communities of cells) responding intelligently and inventively to new environments through adjustments to the genome?-DAVID: No chance for one being correct. Both two and three are possibilities. I view evolution as programmed by God to create humans so either one, or both, would work.-Acceptance of 2) aligns you with the Creationists in so far as you think God created all these new organs and organisms separately. That makes me wonder why, if humans were what he really wanted, he didn't create them at the time, instead of poncing about with all those other species.
