Does Common Design Mean Common Ancestry?

A common argument for evolution is the similarities between creatures. Evolutionists will say those similarities are evidence of common descent from a shared ancestor.

But the idea of common descent isn’t something we observed. It’s just an evolutionary assumption. And there are plenty of examples of creatures that have shared features, which evolutionists will say aren’t related. They just look similar—the argument goes—because creatures happened to evolve the same features.

So, similarity is evidence for common ancestry—except: when it’s not!

The Bible gives us a much better explanation: God created!
