Alateone. You said that a single genetic system for all animals is directly implied by the common descent tree of life. Do you realize it is also directly implied by the idea of a single design engineer?

The problem is the issue of broken genes. Why would a "designer" deliberately build in a broken gene in primates, broken in precisely the same way?
Either incompetent or deceptive. So that argument isn't going to go very well for a Christian.

You admitted that a 2 trunk tree of life is accomodated by darwinism. If 2, why not ten? And if ten were possible, how can you posSibly say that evolution predicts a single genetic system?

Even a creationist like Linnaeus showed that. If there were more than one trunk then you wouldn't see a nested hierarchy of all living things. You'd see a number of nested hierarchies that could not be fitted together.
But that's not what we see.
